Joy Street
The
novel Joy Street by Frances Parkinson Keyes topped The New York Times Fiction
Best Seller list on Jan 14, 1951.
Set
in the Boston elite circles prior to,
during, and after World War II, Frances comes as close as she could to
describing the Boston elite culture, their way of thinking, their way of being,
their way of doing things. Thus,
although this is a fictional story with fictional characters, Frances tried to
present a realistic story by unlocking the prevalent attitudes toward religion,
race, and culture.
This
book is a great example, of why political correctness has, made us unable to
actually see how racism and religious prejudice existed in the United States.
These prejudices prevented capable men from obtaining gainful employment while
opening doors wide for incapable men. To
engage in a story like this, political correctness would become as confining as
the elitist stereotypes that she was trying to undo.
