The Canceling of the American Mind: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust, Destroys Institutions, and Threatens Us All—But There Is a Solution by Greg LukianoffMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Having read and followed Lukianoff (and Haidt) for years, there was not much that was new here. But it was still helpful and interesting to apply the thinking they have developed applied to the phenomenon of canceling. Rikki Schlott adds her experience and expertise to this analysis. They examine many cases of cancelling: from different kinds of institutions, for a range of reasons, from the left, from the right, and so on. Many of these are harrowing examples of illiberalism that showcases the harm and damage down. They also present useful conceptual tools to help analyze these cases, as well as steps forward we can take to reduce the phenomenon. An important contribution to cases for free speech and liberty.
