Redefining America - by Matthew R Borgner (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Americans are living in frightening times. Political division, riots, and violence are plaguing our nation. Civil discourse is almost impossible to come by. But what if the weapon being used to promote these activities is as simple as the meanings of words?

Redefining America details how and why our language is being hijacked and manipulated. The once commonly understood definitions of many of the terms, phrases, and concepts that we use to understand and communicate with one another have been changed. A subset of Americans has been consciously working to redefine our language. Who is doing this and why? What has been the effect on America?

This book will help you recover the meanings of some of the most emotionally charged words you hear in our culture today - and see how reclaiming our language is the first step to reclaiming our country's future.
