Defending Privilege

Meer over het boek

Defending Privilege presents a counterhistory that challenges traditional views on the novel's role in promoting human rights and social mobility. It critiques the common portrayal of the upwardly mobile realist character, suggesting that the genre may also reinforce existing privileges rather than advocate for broader social change. Through this lens, the book invites readers to reconsider the implications of narrative structures in literature and their impact on societal values.
