This book We Need New Stories: The Myths that Subvert Freedom was an interesting discussion on the myths that surround discussion and literature in America. There are detailed sections about the Me Too movement and the use of male power to subordinate women, along with a history of how myths can consume their believers. In We Need New Stories, Nesrine Malik explains that all of these arguments are political myths - variations on the lie that American values are under assault. The book’s chapters each focus on a different myth that is prevalent in Western discourse, including the ideas that free speech is under unprecedented attack, that political correctness and identity politics are out of control, and that movements for gender equality have “gone too far.” The author is excellent at revealing the oversimplification and outright falsehoods used by the myths’ greatest advocates and explaining how opportunists have successfully used these myths to promote harmful politicians and policies.
