Tracing the arc of white supremacist populism in the United States from Indian Removal under Andrew Jackson through the administration of Donald Trump, this book is organized around the question: How should Unitarian Universalists respond to populism? The book points out the inefficacies that progressives, with their focus on state centered reform, use as a means of combating white supremacist populism. And argues that religious liberals, particularly Unitarian Universalists, can more effectively engage in the struggle against white supremacist populism by turning away from progressivism and turning towards the prefigurative traditions of anarchism and antifascism. This book is a must for scholars interested in Religion and Power. Colin Bossen is senior minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston and a visiting fellow of Harris Manchester College at the University of Oxford. He earned a PhD in American Studies and an AM in History from Harvard University, an MDiv from Meadville Lombard Theological School, and BA from Denison University. He is the author of The Political Theologies of Populism: the Garveyites, the Klan, and the Wobblies, 1905--1930 (Wayne State University Press, 2026) and several journal articles and the co-author of two religious education curriculum.
