Reviews
This study, a model of interdisciplinary scholarship, creatively illuminates the theoretical and normative issues arising from the post-9/11 presidency of George W. Bush, with its unprecedented deployment of religious rhetoric and commitment to a political fundamentalism that challenges longstanding norms of American politics. Not merely a work of great analytical insight, it is a book of moral precision, even courage. David Domke's research merits careful attention from scholars, students, and all patriotic Americans (very much including journalists) who care about the fate of our democracy. -- Robert M. Entman, Author, Projections of Power: Framing News, Public Opinion and U.S. Foreign Policy David Domke's God Willing? is an original and timely examination of contemporary U.S. politics and the role of the media in permitting grave assaults on democratic practices and values. Domke brilliantly dissects the rhetoric and reality of what he terms political fundamentalism, and opens up fruitful new ways to understand the current political environment. I give this book an unconditional endorsement. -- Robert W. McChesney, Professor, Institute of Communication Research University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Author, The Problem of the Media
