Hes the author of many scholarly articles and books including talking about Race Community dialogues and the politics of difference. Dr. Cramers work asks questions about Public Opinion and why people view the world the way they do. Her latest book, published in 2016 by the university of chicago press, is called the politic of resentment rural consciousness and the rise of scott walker. Her research, based on participating in conversations all around the state of wisconsin, seeks to enlighten us about the political divides in our state and in our country. She finds that Political Attitudes in the rural part of the state are heavily influenced by what she calls rural consciousness, a sense that rural values are distinct and not often respected by urban residents in milwaukee and madison. So i think the way were going to proceed today is that shes going to read, and then were going to have a conversation about her fascinating book. So ill hand it over to you. Thank you so much. Thank you
Not. And i say, well, i know its a pretty republican area around here, and beverly says, i dont think so, referring to my question do either party represent your concerns. And i said, well, that really stinks. And beverly says we dont know who were going to vote for if we do vote. I think its going to stay the same way, its going to be sandy says, or get worse . Beverly says, they promise us a lot, but once they get voted in the system . Sandy says, do you want walker or to do more of the things he said he was going to do . And delores said, thats why people are upset. I dont know if anything will change, if anything, if the other party gets in. But barrett, who was walkers opponent in the recall election, is known for not doing a whole lot, you know, for our type of community. As many of you know, he was mayor of milwaukee at the time. You know, hes for the big city, hes from the big city, and hes taken milwaukee right down the tubes. Why would we want him running the whole state when
