PC Wars

"PC Wars" addresses the very controversial public issue of political correctness. The collection marks a watershed in the debate about "pc" in that it presents serious considerations and analyses of the factors, causes, and consequences of the PC debate. "PC Wars" analyzes political correctness by focusing on the mass media and class politics, while scrutinizing the undercurrents of anti-intellectualism and anti-professionalism which have tended to create a fertile ground for the "pc" hysteria. The volume provides a critical look at the reaction, ideology and political forces that have cohered around the term.
