Title: The concept is a bit half-baked
Product review: Other than defining "rankism", there is not much else to this book. The author spends most of the book defining and giving examples of rankism. He does not talk much about "overcoming the abuse of rank", as the title suggests he will. He cites a few examples of where some groups are already making progress, but he does not really say what others should do, except maybe "join together". On some occasions, seems to be implying that the world is on its way to eliminating rankism, so we can just sit back and wait for this new utopia to come about.He also likes to compare rankism to both sexism and racism. He suggests that rankism can be eliminated, just like sexism and racism have been. Huh? There has been progress made against these other "isms", but Fuller really is living in an ivory tower if he thinks they no longer exist."Somebodies and Nobodies" does a decent job of pointing out that rankism exists, but does very little to provide answers.
