You Don't Say: Modern American Inhibitions
ISBN: 9780765808516 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this era of political correctness, it is often impossible to say things as one would like. Indeed, certain ways of feeling and talking that were once acceptable are now, in effect, forbidden. Of course, taboos extend further than speech. Social and sexual inhibitions are also evident. Benjamin DeMott argues that the very least a society should do is to try to understand the meaning of its own inhibitions.

The Trouble with Friendship: Why Americans Cant Think Straight about Race
ISBN: 9780300073942 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this lively book, a well-known social critic draws on evidence from movies, TV, literature, and advertising to argue that many Americans have been lulled by the media into believing that racial problems can be substantially mitigated, even vanquished, by blacks and whites working together, one on one, to reconcile their differences. Benjamin DeMott believes that this position of "friendship orthodoxy" oversimplifies the causes of racism and allows us to ignore the harsh socioeconomic realities faced by many blacks in this country.
