Fettered Yet Free

By Richard B. Kimball

Book Overview

""Fettered Yet Free"" is a book written by Richard B. Kimball that explores the paradoxical nature of freedom and constraint in American society. The author argues that while we often think of freedom as the absence of constraints, we are actually bound by a complex web of social, cultural, and economic structures that limit our choices and shape our lives. Through a series of essays and case studies, Kimball examines the ways in which these structures operate, from the influence of advertising and media on our consumer choices to the impact of race and class on our opportunities for success. He also explores the ways in which individuals and communities have found ways to resist these constraints and assert their own agency, from the civil rights movement to the rise of grassroots activism. Ultimately, ""Fettered Yet Free"" offers a nuanced and thought-provoking perspective on the meaning of freedom in contemporary America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
