Why did we suddenly discover that we were sensitive to certain issues? And why is the online political dimension filled with ignored requests? “La correzione del mondo”, published by Einaudi, untangles the exaggerations, minimizations and propaganda that pollute the debate on the topic of political correctness. In these pages, journalist Davide Piacenza responds with examples and testimonies to the questions that dominate our daily controversies, such as Roald Dahl’s novels being corrected or the Harry Potter video game accused of harming human beings.
