Why bother refuting your opponents, when you can just take away their
platform or career?
Greg Lukianoff was one of the first to raise the alarm about the
troubling social and psychological consequences of the growing
intolerance of opposing viewpoints on university campuses in America; a
phenomenon which then swept through the English-speaking world.
In this new book, he teams up with Rikki Schlott to show how this trend
has spread to a wide range of workplaces and cultural spaces, which are
giving up on a culture of free speech in favour of cancel culture.
Drawing on original research and data, along with hundreds of new
examples from publishing to psychotherapy, comedy, science and
medicine, this book shows how the left and the right both work to
silence their enemies in different ways. It's not simply a matter of
Twitter spats; people are losing their jobs, livelihoods and sometimes
their lives over it.
Eye-opening, urgent and transformative, The Canceling of the American
Mind argues that cancel culture is not merely a moral panic, but a
dysfunctional way in which people battle for power, status and
dominance: moving us away from being able to argue productively, listen
generously and ultimately be civil when we disagree. This book offers
concrete steps towards reclaiming a culture of free speech, with
materials specifically tailored for parents, teachers, business leaders
and all those who use social media. It shows how we can all harness
intellectual humility to become more resilient and open minded.
