An Essential Resource for Thinkers, Historians, and Disillusioned Citizens
Unseen Chains: The Everyday Oppression of American Life doesn’t just critique systems—it rewrites how we understand them. Drawing from lived experience and rigorous research, Corey W Carlson exposes the myth of the American Dream as a carefully constructed illusion. The book offers a sweeping analysis of how politicians, corporations, and media have shaped a manufactured narrative of national greatness.
Carlson doesn’t pull punches. He writes:
“The Democrats and Republicans have created a system where it's nearly impossible for any outside voices to gain traction… This isn’t by accident; it’s by design.”
From Hollywood’s whitewashed storytelling to bipartisan gatekeeping, this book shows how every corner of American life is shaped by power and illusion. It’s controversial, urgent, and essential for anyone who wants to see the mechanisms of control laid bare.
“This should be the starting point for political science and history students who want to understand the socioeconomic forces shaping American life.”
Courageous, Comprehensive, and Constructive
This is a book that takes a volatile subject, American decline, and handles it with remarkable clarity and fairness. The chapters explore advertising, racial profiling, the whitewashing of history, student debt, toxic food systems, and more. What really struck me was the hope woven into the final chapters. It’s not just about critique, it’s about liberation.
“From toxic food systems to racial profiling and student debt, every chapter is a gut punch. But it’s not just critique. It’s a call to reclaim our future”
“I thought I understood a lot about systemic oppression in America, but this book goes so much deeper. Every chapter pulls back the curtain on the systems that keep us trapped.”
A Wake-Up Call America Desperately Needs
I thought I understood a lot about systemic oppression in America, but this book goes so much deeper. The author unpacks the hidden machinery behind healthcare dysfunction, educational failure, food injustice, and historical erasure. It’s a brilliantly structured guide that moves from awareness to action, and it left me heartbroken for what we’ve become and inspired for what we could still be.
