Tony Castañeda speaks with journalist Dan Kaufman, who’s reported on Wisconsin’s recent political changes for The New York Times and The New Yorker. His new book The Fall Of Wisconsin: The Conservative Conquest Of A Progressive Bastion And The Future Of American Politics gives a deep political history of state, from the formation of the Wisconsin Idea to its inversion during the Walker administration. Kaufman will speak about his book on Wednesday, July 25th at 6pm at Madison bookstore A Room of One’s Own (315 W. Gorham Street; free).
