George Yancey is professor of sociology at the University of North Texas. He is the author of numerous books, including What Motivates Cultural Progressives?: Understanding Opposition to the Political and Christian Rightand Compromising Scholarship: Religions and Political Bias in American Higher Education.
-Yancey, a professor of sociology, examines what he calls
'right-wing authoritarianism, ' systematic societal use of power
that causes people to submit to conservative values. The use of
excessive power, according to Yancey, strongly correlates with the
dehumanization of political opponents. Examining the Left in turn,
Yancey discovers that conservative Christians in particular bear a
disproportionate amount of dehumanizing rhetoric.- --The Secular
Humanist Bulletin -George Yancey's Dehumanizing Christians examines
right-wing authoritarianism and its dehumanizing effects on
Christians, considering how authoritarianism serves as a tool of
the right-wing and progressives who would use it against
conservative Christians. From methods both sides use to dehumanize
their opponents to the existence and models of Christian
dehumanizing actions, this is a powerful sociological survey that
pinpoints actions of the left and right alike, considering the
origins and actions of fear and loathing towards Christians.- --The
Bookwatch -No observer of history should be surprised by the Left's
hostility to religion. From the French revolution on, the political
left has always striven to gain control over other people and
impose on other people what the Left thinks is a good thing. Yancey
is careful and thorough.- -- Dr. John Ray, formerly of the School
of Sociology at the University of NSW in Sydney, Australia
(retired) -This book makes a compelling case for the existence of
Christian dehumanization, and with it George Yancey continues
leading the charge against this all-too-often accepted form of
religious discrimination.- --Bradley Wright, University of
Connecticut
