Nation of Killers: Guns, Violence, White Supremacy: The American Dream Become Delusion

In recent years, the American dream has been usurped, taking numerous opportunities away from ordinary working-class, middle-class Americans. In Nation of Killers, author Jack Carney shares what he believes has gone wrong and what might be done to address and correct it. Carney offers readers information they might not otherwise have, seeking to provoke them into reconsidering some conclusions about this country and its future direction. He argues that violence-rooted in white supremacist ideology-has been employed by one percenters and their surrogates to promote the country's nineteenth-century expansion and its modern imperialist adventures and to subjugate those of its citizens who have been politically and economically marginalized since the nation's founding. The essays in Part II comprise an organizing primer for activists, detailing key issues to be addressed and describing tactics and strategies already being employed to address them.
