Jill Lepore: The Far Right's Twisted View of History
Americans have always reshaped the past to their own political ends: The Union laid claim to the Revolution--"and so did the Confederacy. Now Jill Lepore, Harvard historian and author of The Whites of Their Eyes, examines the far right's battle to "take back America" and finds that The Tea Partiers embrace a narrative about America's founding that is not only a fable but also a variety of fundamentalis--"anti-intellectual, antihistorical, and dangerously antipluralist. Presented by The Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series media sponsorship provided by PubliCola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust, and the RealNetworks Foundation.
