The Abuses of Political Correctness in American Academia: Reading Philip Roth's The Human Stain in Light of Mary McCarthy's The Groves of Academe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Both Mary McCarthy's The Groves of Academe (1952) and Philip Roth's The Human Stain (2000) are campus novels satirizing the contemporary political environment. Roth's novel presents the life story of Coleman Silk, a classics professor at fictional AthenaCollege who is towards the end of his career unjustly charged of using a racial slur against African Americans in the classroom. The case is taken up by his department head and Silk is forced to resign. This recent indictment of American political correctness provides interesting frames of comparison with McCarthy's earlier novel. In this text, literature professor Henry Mulcahy, who is to lose his job at the fictional Jocelyn College, spreads the rumor that he is being dismissed because he was once amember of the Communist Party. Mulcahy's motivation is a belief that the college and faculty are too politically correct to be seen as persecuting the Left. Not only does Mulcahy keep his job, but the college president is forced to resign
