The frustrations of once-dominant racial and ethnic groups about losing power are reshaping politics around the world, including the United States. In his latest book, Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age, author and Howard University professor Ibram Kendi explains the global spread of “great replacement theory.” Kendi discusses that book in the latest edition of Right Now. He also discusses the conservative attacks on his work and that of other scholars who over the last decade have written extensively about racism in the United States. Conservatives have in some places banned from classrooms and libraries How to be an Antiracist and other works by Kendi.
