The Case for Cancel Culture

In this book, Ernest Owens presents a fresh progressive perspective on cancel culture, arguing that it is a fundamental tool for democratic expression and activism.

Using examples from politics, pop culture, and his own personal experiences, Owens explains the long history of canceling, from the Boston Tea Party to modern-day social media.

He discusses how both the left and right employ cancel culture in their political toolkits and how it is used by various segments of society to seek justice and level the playing field for marginalized voices.

The book aims to redefine cancel culture beyond its common misconceptions as scandal or suppression, instead emphasizing its importance in holding the powerful accountable and promoting social change.
