{"product_id":"9780061807374","title":"The Victims' Revolution: The Rise of Identity Studies and the Closing of the Liberal Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003eRespected author, critic, and essayist Bruce Bawer—whose previous book, \u003cb\u003eWhile Europe Slept: How Radical Islam Is Destroying the West from Within\u003c\/b\u003e, was a \u003cb\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/b\u003e bestseller and a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist—now offers a trenchant and sweeping critique of the sorry state of higher education since the campus revolutions of the late ’60s and early ’70s. In \u003cb\u003eThe Victims’ Revolution\u003c\/b\u003e, Bawer incisively contends that the rise of identity-based college courses and disciplines (Women’s Studies, Black Studies, Gay Studies, etc.) forty years ago has resulted in an impoverishment of thought and widespread political confusion, while filling the brains of students with politically correct mush. Timely, controversial, and brilliantly argued, Bawer’s \u003cb\u003eThe Victims’ Revolution\u003c\/b\u003e is necessary reading for students, educators, and anyone concerned about the contemporary crisis in academia—a serious and important work that stands with other essential books on the subject, like \u003cb\u003eThe Shadow University\u003c\/b\u003e by Alan Kors, \u003cb\u003eIlliberal Education\u003c\/b\u003e by Dinesh D’Souza, and  Allan Bloom’s \u003cb\u003eThe Closing of the American Mind\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026617123056,"sku":"9780061807374","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780061807374_p0.jpg?v=1763622836","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780061807374","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
