summary
In "The Witches Are Coming" Lindy West takes an incisive look into the politics of misogyny and propaganda in the #MeToo era, and unpacks the complicated politics of not being a white man. West challenges the America mythos and the hidden misogyny and propaganda within the media we consume. She insists we must grapple with the lies we tell ourselves in order to heal from the present precarious and disorienting moment in history. She doesn't mince words when she chastises America for being just a hair's breadth away from electing America’s first female president and instead choosing a racist con man as their leader. West insists that if we investigate the truth, and understand how we got where we are today, we can transform ourselves and our society. She offers a hilarious, yet thoughtful, cultural critique that will leave readers clamoring for more of her sharp wit and poignant revelations.
