Böcker av Andie Tucher

From fibs in America's first newspaper about royal incest to social-media-driven conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's birthplace, Andie Tucher explores how American audiences have argued over what's real and what's not and why that matters for democracy.

Based on extensive research in archives, local history societies, and family-history sources as well as conversations and correspondence, this book offers an intimate and unusual perspective on how ordinary people used stories to imagine the world they wished for, and what those stories reveal about their relationships with the world they actually had.
