White Rage – USA: Tommy Kinder poses with his rifle in his home in Fork Creek, W.V., September 29, 2017. He is a patriot and proud of his country, but is afraid U.S. is being destroyed by unemployment and drugs. Degrees of rage in three US states: a journey made in the weeks after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The rally was the first gathering of far-right groups from all over the country in decades, held in part to demonstrate opposition to the removal of the statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee. The photographer travelled through Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland meeting a range of people, from extreme right activists to patriots and those angry at the way the US is governed, in an attempt to understand why white anger has risen to the surface.
