The Civilizing Process and the Past We Now Abhor: Slavery, Cat-Burning, and the Colonialism of Time - Classical and Contemporary Social Theory
Fleming, Bruce (US Naval Academy, USA)
Drawing on Elias’ thought on the civilising process, this book explores the ways in which we deal with a past that we now abhor, judging the individuals of history outside the context in which they lived and demanding cosmetic rather than real changes to the world in an attempt to address past wrongs.
