Beschreibung

In this book, H. Sidky examines how a cadre of American academics influenced by French postmodern philosophy during the 1980’s and 1990’s informed and empowered the assault on science and truth by corporate organizations, post-truth politicians, religious extremists, and right-wing populists in the present post-truth era.
