Helen Boyle, a leading aboriginal rights activist, is interviewed on racism in Australia. She argues that there are six times as many aboriginals in prison as whites, although they make up only 1% of the population, that they have a low life expectancy, high infant mortality, & high incidence of disease, & that aboriginal women are continually subjected to sexual harassment & police charges of prostitution. The only hope for the future is in education, but Australian education policies are not at present geared toward helping aboriginal students; the history of the aborigines is taught as ancient history, with no attention paid to contemporary aboriginal life. A way must be found to integrate these people into the real life of Australia. S. McAneny

Trump, the Alt-Right and Public Pedagogies of Hate and for Fascism: What Is To Be Done? uses public pedagogy as a theoretical lens through which to view discourses of hate and for fascism in the era of Trump and to promote an anti-fascist and pro-socialist public pedagogy. It makes the case for re-igniting a rhetoric that goes beyond the undermining of neoliberal capitalism and the promotion of social justice, and re-aligns the left against fascism and for a socialism of the twenty-first century.Beginning with an examination of the history of traditional fascism in the twentieth century, the book looks at the similarities and differences between the Trump regime and traditional Western post-war fascism. Cole goes on to consider the alt-right movement, the reasons for its rise, and the significance of the internet being harnessed as a tool with which to promote a fascistic public pedagogy. Finally, the book examines the resistance against these discourses and addresses the question of: what is to be done?This topical book will be of great interest to scholars, to postgraduate students and to researchers, as well as to advanced undergraduate students in the fields of education studies, pedagogy, and sociology, as well as readers in general who are are interested in the phenomenon of Trumpism.

This essay describes the perilous situation of contemporary neoliberal capitalism which we refer to as immiseration capitalism.
