In Praise of Prejudice: How Literary Critics and Social Theorists Are Murdering Our Past

The book explores the complexities of prejudice, arguing that the notion of completely eradicating it is both impossible and dishonest. Through the insights of English psychiatrist Theodore Dalrymple, it examines how the denial of prejudice can lead to significant intellectual, moral, and emotional pitfalls for individuals and society. Dalrymple contends that acknowledging and understanding prejudice, rather than attempting to eliminate it, is crucial for genuine freedom and social harmony.
