the whole concept of "oppression" in modern context holds absolutely no merit, it's a divisive racist view of American culture and it's been used for political gain again and again.

Since it's published by supposedly reputable academics I think it's a perfect example of misinformation.

There has been oppression and struggle against it for as long as human civilization has existed and writing to record the struggles of the oppressed.
Of course, but when people use that word today they're often talking about something very different from actual persecution.
