Into the Cannibal's Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa

In €œInto the Cannibal's Pot: Lessons for America from post-Apartheid South Africa,€ Ilana Mercer delivers a compelling polemical work anchored in history, reality, fact, and the political philosophy of classical liberalism. €œInto the Cannibal's Pot€ is a manifesto against mass society, arguing against raw, ripe democracy, here (in the US), there (in South Africa), and everywhere. €œInto the Cannibal's Pot€ follows Russell Kirk's contention that €œtrue freedom can be found only within the framework of a social order.€ It is intended as a reminder that, however imperfect, civilized societies are fragile. They can, and will, crumble in culturally inhospitable climes. Advanced societies don't just die; they either wither from within, or, like South Africa, are finished off by other western societies. And as Ms. Mercer demonstrates, the tyranny of political correctness, so unique to the West€"plays a role in their near- collapse.
