Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case by Stuart Taylor Jr.St. Martin's Griffin“A masterful examination of the pathetic rush to judgment in the Duke rape case.” —John Grisham The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Middle East: The Middle East: Where Political Correctness Can Kill [POLITICALLY INCORRECT GT MIDDL] by Martin(Author) SieffRegnery PublishingThe Next Nightmare: How Political Correctness Will Destroy America by Peter FeamanDunham BooksTo better engage and educate Americans on the history, influences, designs and advances of radical Islam, Peter Feaman opted for the simplest format imaginable-well-worn fables and children's cautionary tales. The Next Nightmare is interspersed with recent reporting on the jihadist movement and rounds up ancient and contemporary history but Feaman also draws on classic allegories to illustrate the deadly dangers of failing to grasp the determination of such a committed foe. The Rape of the Masters: How Political Correctness Sabotages Art by Roger KimballEncounter BooksColleges and universities used to teach art history to encourage connoisseurship and acquaint students with the riches of our artistic heritage. But now, as Roger Kimball reveals in this witty and provocative book, the student is less likely to learn about the aesthetics of masterworks than to be told, for instance, that Peter Paul Rubens' great painting Drunken Silenus is an allegory about anal rape. Or that Courbet's famous hunting pictures are psychodramas about "castration anxiety." Or that Gauguin's Manao tupapau is an example of the way repression is "written on the bodies of women." Or that Jan van Eyck's masterful Arnolfini Portrait is about "middle-class deceptions ... and the treatment of women." Or that Mark Rothko's abstract White Band (Number 27) "parallels the pictorial structure of a pieta." Or that Winslow Homer's The Gulf Stream is "a visual encoding of racism." In "The Rape of the Masters: How Political Correctness Sabotages Art," Kimball, a noted art critic himself, shows how academic art history is increasingly held hostage to radical cultural politics--feminism, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, the whole armory of academic antihumanism. To make his point, he describes how eight famous works of art (reprinted here as illustrations) have been made over to fit a radical ideological fantasy. Kimball then performs a series of intellectual rescue operations, explaining how these great works should be understood through a series of illuminating readings in which art, not politics, guides the discussion. "The Rape of the Masters" exposes the charlatanry that fuels much academic art history and leaks into the art world generally, affecting galleries, museums and catalogues. It also provides an engaging antidote to the tendentious, politically motivated assaults on our treasured sources of culture and civilization. Racial Paranoia: The Unintended Consequences of Political Correctness by John L. Jackson Jr.Basic Civitas BooksThe Civil War put an end to slavery, and the civil rights movement put an end to legalized segregation. Crimes motivated by racism are punished with particular severity, and Americans are more sensitive than ever about the words they choose when talking about race. And yet America remains divided along the color line. Acclaimed scholar John L. Jackson, Jr., identifies a new paradigm of race relations that has emerged in the wake of the legal victories of the civil rights era: racial paranoia. We live in an age of racial equality punctuated by galling examples of ongoing discrimination-from the federal government’s inadequate efforts to protect the predominantly black population of New Orleans to Michael Richards’s outrageous outburst. Not surprisingly, African-Americans distrust the rhetoric of political correctness, and see instead the threat of racism lurking below every white surface. Conspiracy theories abound and racial reconciliation seems near to impossible. In Racial Paranoia, Jackson explains how this paranoia is cultivated, transferred, and exaggerated; how it shapes our nation and undermines the goal of racial equality; and what can be done to fight it. Racial Paranoia: The Unintended Consequences of Political Correctness by John L. Jackson Jr.Basic Civitas BooksIn this courageous book, John L. Jackson, Jr. draws on current events as well as everyday interactions to demonstrate the culture of race-based paranoia and its profound effects on our lives. He explains how it is cultivated and reinforced, and how it complicates the goal of racial equality. In this paperback edition, Jackson explores the 2008 presidential election, weaving in examples ranging from the notorious New Yorker cover to Saturday Night Live’s political parodies. Plain English Handbook (A Complete Guide To Correctness)by J. Martyn Walsh and Anna Kathleen WalshCPA Books Inc.Willing Accomplices: How KGB covert influence agents created Political Correctness, Obama's hate-America-first political platform, and destroyed America by Kent ClizbeAndemca PublishingCIA case officer, Kent Clizbe, analyzes counter-intelligence details to demonstrate that KGB covert influence agents in American education and academia, Hollywood, and the media inserted the anti-American payload that became Political Correctness (PC). The KGB officers suffered death in Stalin's purges. Their American Willing Accomplices, not needing guidance, built the elite mindset of "reflexive loathing of the United States and its people" that defines PC. In 2008, America elected its first PC President. Obama ran on a barely concealed platform of PC loathing of America and its people. Now we see the results. Willing Accomplices provides the foundation for critical consideration of the roots of the PC-Progressive political platform and its dire consequences in 21st century America. |
