2015-03-18 19:04:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
An urgent, illuminating exploration of the social nature of shame and of how it might be used to promote large-scale political change and social reform, Jennifer Jacquet's Is Shame Necessary? (Pantheon) presents us with a trenchant case for public shaming as a nonviolent form of resistance that can challenge corporations and even governments to change policies and behaviors that are detrimental to the environment. Jacquet argues that public shaming, when it has been retrofitted for the age of social media and aimed in the proper direction, can help compensate for the limitations of guilt in a globalized world.
