Beschreibung
In The Elephant in the Room, Eviatar Zerubavel sheds new light on the social and political underpinnings of silence and denial--the keeping of "open secrets." Zerubavel shows how conspiracies of silence evolve, illuminating the social pressures that cause people to deny what is right before their eyes. Drawing on examples from newspapers and comedy shows to novels, children's stories, and film, the book travels back and forth across different levels of social life, and from everyday moments to large-scale historical events.
