Professor Benjamin Haile DeMott (June 2, 1924, Rockville Centre, New York – September 29, 2005) was an American writer, scholar, and cultural critic. Author of more than a dozen books, DeMott was best known for his cultural criticism in popular magazines and a trilogy, ''The Imperial Middle: Why Americans Can't Think Straight about Class'' (1990), ''The Trouble with Friendship: Why American's Can't Think Straight about Race'' (1995), and ''Killer Woman Blues: Why Americans Can't Think Straight about Gender'' (2000). One of his last pieces was a scalding dissection of the 9/11 Commission report that appeared in Harper's Magazine. His final piece -- "Battling the Hard Man: Notes on Addiction to the Pornography of Violence"—was published in Harper's in August, 2007. See links below. DeMott taught English at Amherst College for more than 40 years. ==External links== *http://www.harpers.org/media/pages/2007/08/pdf/HarpersMagazine-2007-08-0081632.pdf *http://www.harpers.org/archive/2004/10/0080234 *http://books.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/story/0,,1668793,00.html *http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/10/02/BAGMPF1BJM1.DTL&feed=rss.bayarea 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Benjamin DeMott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
