What exactly is “cancel culture”—and is it really a new phenomenon?
In this Higher Ideals Audio Edition, Edward A. Wilson examines the long American tradition of protest, boycotts, public pressure, political retaliation, and collective efforts to punish or isolate those considered to be on the wrong side of an issue.
From the nation's founding through the Civil War, Reconstruction, the civil rights movement, Vietnam, and into the social-media age, Americans have repeatedly used their economic and political power to challenge people, institutions, and ideas.
But the history raises a harder question: when does exercising our own freedom begin to interfere with someone else's?
And perhaps the most uncomfortable question of all: are we willing to defend the same principle when the other side is using it?
Cancel Culture: Why You May Not Know It’s an American Tradition explores the history behind today's debate—and asks whether cancel culture is something new at all, or simply an old American tradition with a new name.
