Description
Donald Trump won the election climate change isnt real America is a colorblind country Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary why do so many of us refuse to admit the truth Denial is so much a part of our lives that we deny its existence all the time
In an easylistening style that draws on examples from current events politics and pop culture Del Rosso teases out the complexities of denial from not noticing that someone has food stuck in their teeth to companies that engage in widespread fraud like Enron and Wells Fargo to the much largerscale denials of climate change or systemic racism Del Rosso builds a fascinating typology of the forms and meanings of denial exploring the behavior of those who refuse to acknowledge their actions and what it means to live in a society where such lying fraud and corruption is commonplace
In wideranging examples Del Rosso explores the causes strategies and consequences of denial When scandal hits and accusations of misconduct are made he argues that individuals like Harvey Weinstein or Brett Kavanaugh or organizations like the Catholic Church or Penn State go through a series of moves to try to avoid accountability He effectively argues that recognizing what denial looks like is the crucial first step in mitigating its effects on us and society as a whole
