Essential in every way. - the perils of the touchy feely!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
A brilliant intervention by cultural critic Benjamin DeMott -- these beautifully written reports and essays identify the malaise at the center of American politics and show how the obsession with character and civility -- the "perils of the touchy-feely" -- are actually a dangerous and reactionary distraction. The book is particulatly sharp about post 9-11 political discourse. Essential in every way.
