Disconnection and Cancel Culture takes a fearless look at how cancel culture shapes our conversations about education, race, gender, and more, while reminding us of the power of empathy and open discussion. A much needed read for todays increasingly divided society. -- Charles Crawford, Western Michigan University, USA As Congress considers legislation addressing the de-banking of political and religious groups on the heels of an historic era of censorship and social media bans, this timely book arrives attempting to help us understand what has led to this moment. Accomplished scholar Dr. Robert Hartmann McNamara uses a sociological lens to examine cancel culture its origins, manifestations, and impacts - across various arenas of public life. -- Sean P. Griffin, The Citadel, USA Disconnection and Cancel Culture is a timely, balanced, empirically based work that offers much toward addressing a growing social problem. McNamara effectively contextualizes cancel culture with convincing support presented in a reader-friendly manner. Addressing topics such as race, religion, and sexuality, he demonstrates how seemingly complex controversies can be simplified, explained, and properly addressed. The book is well-suited for classroom use and general audiences and fills a glaring gap in scholarly offerings addressing cancel culture. -- Ronald Burns, Texas Christian University, USA
