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:
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.
