Unreality and Its Discontents: The Struggle Against Christian Nationalism
While advocating for the liberation of inner life from ideological obedience into boundless possibility, CAE pulls back the curtain on the intricate circuitry powering the U.S. social landscape.With sharp insight, they expose the rationale behind the nation’s alarming shift from democratic principles to the totalizing imposition of Christian identity on laws, policies, and cultural practices—obliterating all dissenting perspectives in the process. I cannot unread this book. Any serious analysis of the present that ignores the Christian ideology now shaping the future is incomplete. –Julie Ault, MacArthur Fellow
In Unreality and Its Discontents, the ever-prophetic Critical Art Ensemble confronts the rise of Christian nationalism and other forms of "pathological unreality" as a political and metaphysical crisis threatening to pull the world into a horrific and totalitarian delusion. Fiercely committed to intellectual and spiritual freedom, CAE calls for new alliances between skeptics, artists, scientists, and the spiritually curious to defend pluralism, mystery, and inner experience against the certitudes of authoritarian dogma. A rallying cry for those unwilling to surrender reality —and unreality— to tyranny and evil. –Trevor Paglen, MacArthur Fellow
I wish this book was not so much needed, but unfortunately it is, and it is the best thing I've read on the current situation. –Matthew Fuller, Goldsmiths
