Description:
Michelle Goldberg is a journalist and author based in Brooklyn. Her first book, the
New York Times bestseller "Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism," explored the ascendant
politico-religious fundamentalism dominating the Republican Party and, at the time,
the Bush administration. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called it 鈥渁n impressive piece of lucid journalism 鈥� carefully researched and riveting.鈥�
After "Kingdom Coming" came out, Goldberg spent two years traveling the world to research
"The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power and the Future of the World," a book about
the globalization of battles over women's rights. Goldberg is a columnist for the
Daily Beast and for Tablet, and her work has appeared in the Nation, New Republic, Glamour, Newsweek, the Guardian (UK) and many other publications. Her third book, about the world-traveling adventuress,
actress and yoga evangelist Indra Devi, will be published by Knopf in 2013.
