"Providing a special insight into the social workings of American society and culture, this book examines the history of popular speech -an unexpectedly rich source of information about our collective self and our cultural foibles. The slang of ethnic abuse, as offensive as it usually is, nonetheless displays the past and present tenor of ethnic relations in this country and tells an eminently American story."

Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard /Biblio
Bergin & Garvey Publishing , Inc.. New. Date: 1990. Paperback. 0897892208 . This specific paperback book is in new condition with a cover that has sharp edges and corners and has a tight binding. The pages are clean, crisp, unmarked and uncreased. We package all books in custom cardboard book boxes for shipment and ship daily with tracking numbers.; "Divided into two parts, the book begins with a detailed study of the older and more traditional slurs in American vernacular. These words the author terms fighting words, which, when dropped, often raised fists in schoolyards and barrooms. The book uncovers the origins of these slurs--few are heard in today's public discourse--and places them in a word museum where the reader can view the foolish viciousness of a cultural past. In one chapter, the author singles out the derogatory labels that have been applied specifically to women and reveals slurs that originate in both gender and ethnic conflict. The second part of the book focuses on labels that have appeared in the last few decades, often more genteel and less confrontational. While more subtle than their forerunners, these words often serve the same old psychological and social needs to stereotype and express hostility. Anyone interested in ethnic identity in the United States, in the workings of a plural society, or the origins and uses of American ethnic slurs, will find Unkind Words fascinating reading."; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; ...
