Beyond Political Correctness: Social Transformation in the United States (Transformations in Politics and Society) - Hardcover
The reason that the right dominates debates on crime, family values, and economic freedom while the left defends diversionary policies such as affirmative actions and equivocates on ecology and the political empowerment of the young, argues Cummings (political science, U. of Colorado) is that too many progressives have avoided politically sensitive issues, thus condemning themselves to intellectual atrophy and political ineffectiveness.

Review:
"Stated clearly and concisely - and not bound by the political correctness of radicals, liberals, or conservatives - this book shows how contemporary shibboleths impede constructive communication on issues, harden into fixed positions, and foreclose the possibility of sensible policies. The reader can learn from every page " - Peter G. Stiliman
