As we struggle to deal with the fact that our past shapes us-indeed is us, but is not us-and cannot be changed, the modern tendency is to demand merely cosmetic rather than real changes to the world and to judge harshly the individuals with whom the past is populated, pulling down statues or re-naming institutions. An examination of our modern colonialism of time rather than place, which refuses to consider or accept the fact that without our past, we wouldn't be here at all, let alone in a position to judge, \u003ci\u003eThe Civilizing Process and the Past We Now Abhor \u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to scholars and students of sociology, cultural studies, and literature with interests in contemporary questions of race, morality, and efforts to correct the wrongs of our past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Fleming\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032134704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032134703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.33d","brand":"Bruce Fleming","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066892054783,"sku":"9781032134703","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_586e6c1f-50f9-4a9b-abd1-995ebdf6a977.jpg?v=1685409948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-civilizing-process-and-the-bruce-fleming-9781032134703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
