Reviews

  • The authors use their skills and analytic insights to delve systematically into the emergence of a president whom many have labeled as divisive and reckless. They tell an incisive story of a nation divided ideologically, but also oriented, in common, via technology. This apparent contradiction constitutes what the authors call a ‘narrative moment’ that provides a well-conceived and well-written account of the complex correlation between political discourse and technological access to such discourse.

    Michael A. Katovich, Texas Christian University

  • Since President Trump’s election, have you ever wondered how to talk about politics with family members, students, white nationalists, evangelical Christians, and all those who voted for Trump? I know I have. This volume takes on these issues in a deep and thoughtful way. It is a must-read for all who are concerned about the profit-centered narrative of our current administration, the deep divisions within our country, and the potential harm to our moral society and physical environment.

    Carolyn Ellis, University of South Florida
