Scholarship, science, and democracy itself all rely on a humble realization: that we may all be wrong. Therefore, rather than cancel our opposition, we must listen carefully to what they say … Cancel Culture is an attempt to shrug off that responsibility.
Greg Lukianoff
Introduction
We often avoid discussing certain topics because they feel controversial, difficult, or confusing.
But what if cancel culture and the environment it creates are stopping us from thinking altogether, eroding our freedom of speech and the fabric of democracy?
In The Canceling of the American Mind, civil liberties experts Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott unpack the fraught topic of cancel culture.
The pair investigate how cancel culture is negatively affecting the workplace, the education system, and the very nature of free speech in Western democracies.
Arguing that cancel culture is a harmful ideology that we must all fight against, Lukianoff and Schlott provide us with the tools we need to do so.
