"Henry Giroux's The Terror of the Unforeseen provides an urgent warning in response to Donald Trump’s collapsing of language, showing us an alternative path through his own thoughtful, compassionate, sincere, and sophisticated writing." Nick Pemberton

"Henry Giroux is aware that only vigilance will save us from the erosion of democracy that is occurring daily in the US and in other parts of the world. As a public intellectual propelled by a strong moral imperative, he has taken on the task of analyzing the causes and effects of this alarming situation in all their complexity. The Terror of the Unforeseen is a compelling addition to this ongoing, vital project." Carol Becker, Dean of Columbia University School of the Arts
Rabbi Michael Lerner
"Henry Giroux, a brilliant and revolutionary thinker, helps us understand why we must refuse to equate capitalism and democracy, or to normalize greed or accept individualism as the highest form of human life. In this exciting new take on social reality, Giroux describes how the neoliberalism that has for the past 40 years has been paving a path to fascism that will have a distinctively contemporary flavor, yet will be just as destructive as fascisms of the past. Filled with passion and insight, The Terror of the Unforeseen is a book that should be read by anyone who wants to understand and prepare for the dangers and opportunities of political struggle in the 2020s." Rabbi Michael Lerner, Editor of Tikkun Magazine and author of Revolutionary Love
Lawrence Grossberg
"Henry Giroux has, for decades, combined passion and intellect to map out the often terrifying directions of US politics and economics, while recognizing, as too few on the left have, that culture matters. Refusing to give in to despair, The Terror of the Unforeseen argues that education is the necessary cornerstone of any democratic political struggle. It demonstrates, once again, why Giroux is one of the most important public intellectuals in the United States." Lawrence Grossberg, Morris Davis Distinguished Professor at UNC Chapel Hill
