Publisher's Summary

“Political correctness” has taken politeness and turned it into a weapon of censorship and intimidation. In the workplace, on social media, and even at the dinner table, Americans are confronted daily with a laundry list of words they’re “not allowed” to say - and that list is updated constantly and without warning.

How did so absurd a concept become so dangerous - and come to dominate our public discourse over the last quarter-century?

In Speechless, number one nationally best-selling author and political commentator Michael Knowles masterfully traces the history and effects of political correctness from the early 20th century to the present, revealing its insidious roots, exposing the power-hungry language architects behind its ever-growing control, and examining what this concerted manipulation of speech means for the future of American culture, politics, and minds.

Masterpiece .

Loved the book and I do recommend that it should be read. As it gives one clarity on social and political issues. The book cuts through the PC jargon and enlightens the reader of the licentious libertarians who actually want to throw out free speech while reserving it for them. The author Matthew Knowles has given an in depth knowledge of the American Society it's foundation and the Judeo Christian principles that it is founded on.

Interesting

I found it quite interesting and full of learning. Though it was full of US political references could not understand much but it was really a good experience to learn the words and their origins and the social impact they have.
