Description
This illuminating look at the social roots of silence and denial underscores the social dynamics that keep certain things 'hidden in plain sight'. The author shows how such conspiracies of silence evolve, how people's involvement relate to others and how power differences between people impact on them.
First Sentence
There is a famous fourteenth-century Castilian story about a Moorish king duped by three swindlers into believing that a dazzling new suit they are supposedly weaving for him is somehow invisible to any person of illegitimate birth.
