Enraged, Rattled, and Wronged

Entitlement's Response to Social Progress

Beschreibung

Enraged, Rattled, and Wronged examines psychological entitlement--an inflated sense of one's worthiness over other groups--as an overlooked but essential feature of persistent inequality and resistance to social progress. What happens when entitled people feel marginalized? How does their inflated sense of entitlement make them vulnerable to manipulation by the demagogues who use them? What are they willing to destroy to cling to their status and power? This book explores the ways in which entitlement preserves and perpetuates inequality, calling dominant groups to join the vibrant movements for change.
