Reviews

"An admirably comprehensive guide to the Hydra-headed monster known as 'political correctness.' Wilson manages to address nearly every aspect of the PC onslaught. That he catalogues and dissects such an amazing array of right-wing malfeasance, journalistic sloppiness, and outright lying—and does so without descending to invective or ridicule—is testimony not only to his thoroughness but to his patience. This is an original, discerning, and extremely important book."—Michael Berubé, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

"John Wilson shows in copious and devastating detail that, as obnoxious as Political Correctness of the Left has sometimes been, the Political Correctness of the Right is far more pervasive, virulent, and well-funded—as well as virtually unpublicized."—Gerald Graff, author of Beyond the Culture Wars

"This book should once and for all put to rest the peculiar delusion that American campuses are being terrorized by 'politically correct' thought police. Anyone who's visited a campus knows better, of course, but John K. Wilson demolishes the myth with scholarly rigor and relentless investigative zeal. Now maybe we can get back to the real problems of higher education—like why it's becoming unaffordable for all but the rich."—Barbara Ehrenreich
