What people are saying about FIGHT!
“Perceptive and informative...Abundant statistical evidence and insightful analysis buttress Della Volpe’s optimistic view that Gen Z can help lead America to a brighter future. This is the rare sociological study that manages to inspire.”
“A provocative pleasure for demography geeks and political trend-watchers.”
“A compelling, comprehensive, and intensely readable roadmap for why Gen Z is so angry at the political reality they’ve inherited―and why they’re stepping up to stop their parents and grandparents’ generations from destroying their future...urgent, essential reading. It’ll put you in a fighting mood―and give you hope for a better tomorrow.”
— Charlotte Alter, Senior Correspondent TIME, and author of The Ones We’ve Been Waiting For
“John brings the numbers to life as we ride alongside a generation forever altered by the Trump era but committed to creating a better America for everyone.”
— Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, Co-hosts, Morning Joe
“Despite his Gen. X status, there’s no one I’d rather read on the rise of Zoomers and their determination to save America...Even the most cynical Boomer will walk away from John’s authoritative and essential read on our next generation of leaders feeling hopeful about the arc of the moral universe.”
— Jacqueline Alemany, The Washington Post
“A great read with a tremendous amount of learning for anyone in the business of marketing, selling, or otherwise engaging with the most exciting generation in decades, or perhaps ever...Della Volpe’s narrative broadened my mind and was hard to put down.”
— John Reid, President, Live Nation EMEA
“An amazing contribution and beautifully written. While so many analysts and social scientists are obsessed with partisan polarization, John has really focused on probably the more consequential polarization that will define the country.”
— James N. Druckman, Payson S. Wild Professor of Political Science and Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University
“A deep dive into the Gen Z voter’s brain that provides the reader with a detailed understanding of what issues have become supremely important―especially in light of the 2020 election. It shows this generation’s complexity as individuals, not just as a voting bloc.”
— Stephanie Ruhle, MSNBC Anchor, NBC News Senior Business Correspondent
“From climate change to racial justice, this generation has put its collective foot down and demanded change. More than that, they are taking responsibility for it. It’s an exciting and encouraging chapter in the American experiment and Fight captures that and the implications of it.”
— Deval Patrick, Former Governor of Massachusetts
“The definitive account of America’s next great generation. Raised in the shadow of war, during a period of economic decline and technological leaps, Zoomers are mad as hell and uniquely equipped to force positive and enduring change. If you want to know what America looks like in 2050 and 2099, it starts with Generation Z.”
— Ron Fournier, bestselling author of Love That Boy
“Scrupulously documented.”
— Booklist
“An outstanding piece of scholarship, which sets out in brilliant color how Gen Z has become politically active and begun to reshape American politics.”
— Professor James Sloam, Ph.D., Department of Politics & International Relations, Royal Holloway (University of London)
“Moving…engrossing…At a time of so much division and hopelessness, it is encouraging to learn of Generation Z’s enthusiasm for tackling the powerful inequities that limit our people and endanger our world. Della Volpe’s research brought me hope. It also left me with a sense that those of us ahead of this generation on the calendar need to partner with Gen Z’s to find ways to both invite them into the game and empower them to lead.”
— Dr. Nicholas Covino, President, William James College
