"'The Witch-Hunt Narrative' is a magisterial and empirically powerful account of the social dynamics that led to the denial of widespread human tragedy."
Over in the Drudge thread, the OP @Orange_Circle helpfully points out a book, "The Witch Hunt Narrative" by Brown University Professor Ross Cheit. I'm about to purchase the e-textbook on shitmazon. it really looks to be an important resource for any serious PG researcher. has anyone read it or tried to contact him?? he would seem to be an ideal ally. looking at his Brown University page, it seems the last classes he taught were in the spring of '16. wonder what he's been up to this past 8 months or so..
His Brown U page
An insightful HuffPost article from 2014.

Thanks so much for this post! I stumbled across his book and started reading excerpts and his blog and I was amazed and so heartened to find that, "he gets it!"
The American Bar Association Journal gave the book a great review so I'm hopeful that the pendulum is swinging back to the side of truth and justice.

No, thank YOU for finding this and bringing it to our attention. We WILL prevail in this fight against such horrific evil...we must.

That article is about those accused being the victims. Ugh

There is a great review of the book at In the American Bar Association Journal Winter "16 issue.
Also, his blog refutes a lot of false information.

Will do, in the meantime that huffpost article apparently gives a nice glimpse of the book's thesis.
