Symbols and Deception, and the Social Murder of Identity - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Discusses how our symbolic world creates misperceptions of reality and how this leads to loss of identity at the personal level, and explains how this process is created and sustained because of economic, political, social, and cultural systems and processes in society. Contends that symbols impair our perception of reality and our understanding of social phenomena, and argues that genuine, humanistic democracy will allow people to reclaim their identities. Lacks a subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
