SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book explores how western societies have used villains to sort insiders from outsiders and establish behavioral norms to support harmony and well-being. The author also discusses two related phenomena: the dramatic paring down of what is considered villainous in the West, and the proliferation of over-the-top villains in pop culture and mass media"--
