Everyone will be reading about Wisconsin's voter resentment

I've written about this book before, and I offer some additional context and data here, but I predict it will become a bestseller, as it hits the nail on the head:

NEW BOOK: The Politics of Resentment: Rural Consciousness in Wisconsin and the Rise of Scott Walker by Katherine Cramer

March 17, 2016/in divided we fall /by Katherine Acosta

Katherine Cramer’s forthcoming (April) book is excerpted in the Capitol Times today. If you’ve never heard of her, she’s a political science professor at the UW, a lifelong Wisconsin resident, and an interviewee in our film.

Cramer’s research is unique: where most political scientists rely heavily on polling, Cramer actually spent years visiting rural communities in Wisconsin, getting to know the people, and coming to a deep understanding of their interests and values. Because she took the time go through that process, she is able to present a nuanced and sensitive assessment of their political leanings.

Her work is critical for understanding the political divisions in Wisconsin that allowed the rise of Scott Walker and his agenda.
