We're witches, and we're hunting you.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the moment powerful men started falling to the #MeToo movement, the lamentations began: this is feminism gone too far, this is injustice, this is a witch hunt. In \u003ci\u003eThe Witches Are Coming\u003c\/i\u003e, Lindy West, turns that refrain on its head. You think this is a witch hunt? Fine. You've got one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique, West extolls the world-changing magic of truth, urging readers to reckon with dark lies in the heart of the American mythos, and unpacking the complicated, and sometimes tragic, politics of not being a white man in the twenty-first century. She tracks the misogyny and propaganda hidden (or not so hidden) in the media she and her peers devoured growing up, a buffet of distortions, delusions, prejudice, and outright bullsh*t that has allowed white male mediocrity to maintain a death grip on American culture and politics--and that delivered us to this precarious, disorienting moment in history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We cannot understand how we got here'--how the land of the free became Trump's America--without examining the chasm between who we are and who we think we are, without fact-checking the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and each other. The truth can transform us; there is witchcraft in it. Lindy West turns on the light.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lindy West\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.8\" H x 5.1\" L x 0.8\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780316449861\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50548891615536,"sku":"9780316449861","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780316449861.jpg?v=1775076691","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/the-witches-are-coming-lindy-west-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
