Cynical theories : how activist scholarship made everything about race, gender, and identity - and why this harms everybody
Helen Pluckrose (Author), James A. Lindsay (Author)
"Outlines the origin and evolution of postmodern thought over the last half century and argues that the unchecked spread and application of postmodern ideas -- from academia, to activist circles, to the public at large - presents an authoritarian ideological threat not only to liberal democracy but also to modernity itself"-- Provided by publisher
