''Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, An American Nightmare'' is a book comprising a collection of essays about Sarah Palin with a spoof title and cover design intended to lampoon Palin’s memoir ''Going Rogue: An American Life''. It was released on November 17, 2009. Both books feature Palin on the front in red, but ''Going Rouge'' has her against a backdrop of black thunder clouds and lightning, instead of the blue sky and white clouds on her memoir. The anthology, according to its publisher ''OR Books'', provides a political counterpoint and addresses Palin's background, her rise to prominence, and "the nightmarish prospect of her continuing to dominate the nation's political scene."〔 The book is unrelated in content to ''Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring & Activity Book'', a 48-page paperback by cartoonist Julie Sigwart and radio host Micheal Stinson,〔 or to ''Going Rouge: A Candid Look inside the Mind of Political Conservative Sarah Palin,'' a novelty book of 102 blank pages. ==Content== The book, released by OR Books, a start-up founded by veteran publishers John G. H. Oakes and Colin Robinson, was published on November 17, 2009, the same day that Palin’s own hardback ''Going Rogue: An American Life'' was released.〔 According to their site, Oakes is the former publisher of the independent publishing house Four Walls Eight Windows, and Robinson a former publisher of The New Press. Other contributing writers include Max Blumenthal, Joe Conason, Eve Ensler, Michelle Goldberg, Jane Hamsher, Christopher Hayes, Jim Hightower, Linda Hirshman, Dahlia Lithwick, Amanda Marcotte, Shannyn Moore, Jeanne Devon, John Nichols, Hanna Rosin, Matt Taibbi, Michael Tomasky, Rebecca Traister, Naomi Klein, Jessica Valenti, Patricia Williams, JoAnn Wypijewski, and Gary Younge. ''Salon'' magazine also announced that several of their original articles will be included: "The Sarah Palin Pity Party," by Rebecca Traister; "The Losers Who Gave Us Sarah Palin," by Joe Conason; and two pieces by Juan Cole, "What's the Difference Between Sarah Palin and Muslim Fundamentalists? Lipstick" and "Sarah Palin, meet Mahmoud Ahmadinejad." Some of the other more than 50 short essays, includes "Wrong Woman, Wrong Message," by Gloria Steinem, "Our Polar Bears, Ourselves," by Mark Hertsgaard, and "Sarah Palin's Death Panels" by Robert Reich. Max Blumenthal, author of ''Republican Gomorrah'', includes an account of his meeting with Palin's "witch-hunting pastor" from Kenya, Thomas Muthee, "who urges his parishioners to crush 'the python spirit' of the unbeliever enemies by stomping on their necks."〔 An additional component in ''Going Rouge'' is how "feminist considerations" were "magnified and distorted" by Palin's candidacy. The varied and "complex nuances of gender and feminist constructions raised by the Palin phenomenon" are addressed by Katha Pollitt, Amy Alexander, Amanda Fortini and Emily Bazelon, among others.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Going Rouge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
