In the late 20th century, various perceived threats to American's suburbs helped fuel the rise of right-wing media and the era's political conservative dominance. On this episode of Democracy Nerd, host Jefferson Smith speaks with Kyle Riismandel, author of "Neighborhood of Fear: The Suburban Crisis in American Culture, 1975-2001" about the political and social response to these threats--and how this response continues to have a political impact decades later.
