Nelson, Anne. Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right. Pub 2019. 431 pages. (Elsie)
“Professor Anne Nelson reveals how the right-wing media have proliferated in the U.S. and infiltrated American voters in her new book Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right. “My book will be of interest to anyone who reads the news every morning and wonders, “How on earth did this happen?” The research sheds light on many of the paradoxes of this situation. Why would religious fundamentalists embrace an outlier like Donald Trump? What is the political relationship between the Koch oil empire, the DeVos family of Michigan and the Southern Baptists? How do Dark Money donor networks translate into votes on the ground in swing states? How can the playing field be leveled?
