By fostering an awareness of life outside North Korea and enhancing cultural knowledge, the materials these citizens disseminate are affecting the social and political consciousness of a people, as well as their everyday lives"--Front jacket flap.

By focusing on four key news stories from 1983-Reagan's "evil empire" speech, the AIDS outbreak, the invasion of Grenada, and the plight of America's poor-Winston reveals how these stories mainstreamed conservative religious and political values. Ronald Reagan's policies, informed by his Christian beliefs, overturned the social, political, and economic consensus that had been dominant since FDR. By carefully deploying evangelical ideas about individual responsibility, capitalism, and limited government in speeches and interviews, Reagan turned America to the right and initiated a social and political revolution, the effects of which are still being felt today. Righting the American Dream tells this story in vivid and compelling detail"--
