Description

The Deepening Darkness: Patriarchy, Resistance, and Democracy's Future by Carol Gilligan and David A. J. Richards explores the contradictions within democracies, such as America's unjust wars and distorted politics, which arise from a patriarchal psychology still alive in our personal and political lives. This book joins a psychological approach with a political-theoretical one to trace the roots of this psychology and resistance to it, tracing them back to ancient Rome and three Latin masterpieces. It examines why movements of ethical resistance are often accompanied by a freeing of sexuality and why we are witnessing an aggressive fundamentalism at home and abroad. By exploring the intersection of psychology, politics, and culture, Gilligan and Richards shed light on the underlying causes of our present situation, including America's ongoing conflicts and social tensions.
