Sommario/riassunto: ""Political correctness"" involves much more than a restriction of speech. It represents a broad cultural transformation, a shift in the way people understand things and organize their lives; a change in the way meaning is made.The problem addressed in this book is that, for reasons the author explores, some ways of making ""meaning"" support the creation and maintenance of organization, while others do not.
