“A seething exposé . . . The book paints a convincing portrait of the intimate ties between energy corporations, state government, and the state university in closing ranks against dissent in Wyoming.”—Pacific Northwest Quarterly
“Lockwood has done the important work of placing free speech in the context of socioeconomic forces that operate in Wyoming, the American West, and beyond.”—Western Historical Quarterly
“A persuasive and stark portrait of a state, and by extension a nation and a world, whose public institutions have been dissuaded from taking climate change seriously because of the power accrued by the energy industry.”—Daniel Worden, coeditor of Oil Culture
“Courageously and unapologetically exposes the silencing effect of corporate influence on academia, the arts, and government agencies. No doubt this book will shape public discourse on the destructive influence of corporate censorship on democracy for years to come.”—Duncan Purves, coeditor of The Ethical Underpinnings of Climate Economics
