Book News Annotation:Schwartz (organizational behavior, Oakland University) says in his
introduction: "My main point is that what appears to be a war between
the sexes is something far more dangerous. It is nothing less than a
revolt of the primitive against the mature, driven by the most
powerful forces withing the psyche. Its potential danger is immense."
He elucidates his point of view, using an approach stemming from
psychoanalytic phenomenology, to look at various aspects of work,
sexual politics, political correctness, feminism, and violence in
contemporary society.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:...Schwartz's pessimism allows the author (and the reader) to examine uncomfortable feelings, which psychoanalysis holds as the key to improved understanding of true reality. This book contains extensive explanatory notes for each chapter, as well as a very extensive bibliography. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers; professionals and practitioners.

In documenting these bizarre forms and attempting to specify their inner meaning. Schwartz teaches us a lot about what motivates some of the key political struggles of our time.
