DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/B0B3G1JL7W One of America’sfinest
reporters and essayists explores the powerful currents beneath the roiled waters of a nation
coming apart.An unmatched guide to the religious dimensions of American politics, Jeff Sharlet
journeys into corners of our national psyche where others fear to tread. The Undertow is both
inquiry and meditation, an attempt to understand how, over the last decade, reaction has morphed
into delusion, social division into distrust, distrust into paranoia, and hatred into
fantasies—soetimes realities—ofviolence.Across the country, men
“ofGod”glorify materialism, a gluttony of the soul, while citing Scripture and
preparing for civil war—afirestorm they long for as an absolution and exaltation. Lies, greed,
and glorification of war boom through microphones at hipster megachurches that once upon a time
might have preached peace and understanding. Political rallies are as aflame with need and giddy
expectation as religious revivals. At a conference for incels, lonely single men come together to
rage against women. On the Far Right, everything is heightened—loe into adulation, fear into
vengeance, anger into white-hot rage. Here, in the undertow, our forty-fifth president, a vessel of
conspiratorial fears and fantasies, continues to rise to sainthood, and the insurrectionist Ashli
Babbitt, killed on January 6 at the Capitol, is beatified as a martyr of white womanhood.Framing
this dangerous vision, Sharlet remembers and celebrates the courage of those who sing a
different song of community, and of an America long dreamt of and yet to be fully born, dedicated
to justice and freedom for all.Exploring a geography of grief and uncertainty in the midst of plague
and rising fascism, The Undertow is a necessary reckoning with our precarious present that brings
to light a decade of American failures as well as a vision for American possibility.
