Main Article Content

Stuart Hall

Abstract

Political correctness (PC) was and remains prototypical of the kinds of issues that came to characterise the rapidly shifting political landscape of the 1990s. Thus, it is symptomatic of certain broader historical trends, and therefore seems useful even at this late stage. This article places the concept PC in a broader historical context before charting a path through its contradictions. 

Keywords:
Politically correctness, thatcherism, new right, moral majority, linguistic turn.
