A Wild Venture Into The Rebel Counterculture!!! On a strange journey to drum up the greatest American story ever told, long-time journalist (Winston) travels to Appalachia- in order to cover the Rebel Counterculture accurately; and dispel early writings from New York journalists. These early writings were known as "Yellow Journalism", a style of writing that essentially serves as hit pieces- typically aimed at the Appalachian region. These stories would portray the inhabitants as participating in acts such as illegal gambling and moonshining, along with having racist traits and other strong criminal backgrounds. Winston is determined to go where no writer from New York ever has, but after traveling deep into the West Virginia hills, he soon realizes there may have been a good reason for the writers from New York to stay far away from those mountains.

Latter-Day Political Views is a formal study of the effect of religion and culture on the political worldviews of practicing Mormons from different races and nationalities. Previous studies have focused on Mormons in Utah and found phenomenally high levels of homogeneity in Latter-Day Saints (LDS) political views, so much so that Mormons have been considered a distinct ethnic group. What author Jeffrey C. Fox finds shatters this illusion. Here he illuminates how people with different backgrounds are able to not only reconcile various clashing cultural beliefs with Mormon doctrine but also form their own unique political views that differ systematically by race and political culture. As the church rapidly expands and becomes more racially and culturally diverse, Latter-Day Political Views encourages readers to expand their field of vision and understand the impact of Mormon doctrine on the political thought of all its members."--BOOK JACKET.
