#17: Andrew Hartman on the Culture Wars, Then and Now

Andrew Hartman, author of A War for the Soul of America: A History of the Culture Wars, joined us on October 6, 2016 to discuss the major political shifts of the 60s, the culture wars of the 80s, and the related political and cultural collisions today. We talk about debates over race, gender, religion, economics, and higher education. We also consider what the candidacies of Trump and Clinton might mean for the near-future of American culture and politics, and whether the rise of Sanders points to a split in the Democratic party that will have consequences well beyond this election season.
