De Critics at Large van het prestigieuze Amerikaanse tijdschrift The New Yorker zijn meesters in de kunst van serieus doen over luchtige onderwerpen. Ze analyseren fenomenen uit de popcultuur en koppelen ze aan bijvoorbeeld maatschappelijke trends. Waarom zijn bijvoorbeeld waargebeurde misdaad en astrologie zo populair? En hoe kan het dat ‘trad wives’ die acht kinderen hebben en hun eigen tandpasta maken zo veel volgers hebben? Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz duiden het moderne leven met kennis van zaken, intelligentie én humor.
On July 27th, 1996, a domestic terrorist bombed the Summer Olympic Games held in Atlanta, GA. While the FBI and the media fixated on the wrong man, the bomber planned his next, more overtly political attacks on 2 abortion clinics and a gay nightclub. The bomber would later be identified as a dedicated soldier in the white-supremacist Christian Identity Movement. Through the lens of these 4 bombings, and the victims left to pick up the pieces, Flashpoint explores America’s greatest threat, the political and religious radicalization of homegrown terrorists.
