  • Summary

  • Michael Collins is an author and assistant professor of English at Texas A&M University. His latest book is titled "The Anti-Civil Rights Movement: Affirmative Action as wedge & weapon." His book pulls back the curtain on the networks of power and influence that are pulling the strings to undo progress toward a more just and equitable society. The efforts of this anti-civil rights movement, as Collins calls it, most recently came to a head on June 23, 2023, when the US Supreme Court effectively ended affirmative action in higher education and opened the door to even more regressive policies, laws, and bans. The ruling was the fulfillment of a decades-long battle by right-wing activists and their networks to divide the country.
