Award-winning historian Nancy MacLean will talk about her new and provocative book, Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America. The book connects the mid-twentieth-century backlash to the New Deal and school desegregation and the anti-democratic policies favored by many of today's economic and political elites.
