Since the end of the Cold War, ultra-conservative ‘culture wars’ have been intentionally globalised by elites undermining democracy. This is the story of the far-right architects, strategists, and financiers behind assaults on women’s and queer rights around the world. From the rollback of federal abortion rights in the US to the passage of a new anti-homosexuality law in Uganda, they have targeted elections, courts, schools, and the media. With many victories in recent years, they’re far from done.
Based on a decade of reporting, In the Name of the Family takes readers inside the World Congress of Families, the international network that has brought together a motley crew of ‘family values’ fundamentalists. From a Mormon ‘pro-family’ activist in Arizona to a former German ‘pop princess,’ 1990s TV celebrities, and an infamous array of World Congress of Families attendees, investigative journalist Claire Provost travels the world to expose the network’s assaults on sexual and reproductive rights.
There’s also a twist: whether you like it or not, you have unwittingly been helping them too.
