States of Emergency – Essays on Culture and Politics de Patrick M. Brantlinger

States of Emergency – Essays on Culture and Politics

Autor Patrick M. Brantlinger, Alan Wald
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 sep 2013
In his latest book, Patrick Brantlinger probes the state of contemporary America. Brantlinger takes aim at neoliberal economists, the Tea Party movement, gun culture, immigration, waste value, surplus people, the war on terror, technological determinism, and globalization. An invigorating return to classic cultural studies with its concern for social justice and challenges to economic orthodoxy, States of Emergency is a delightful mix of journalism, satire, and theory that addresses many of the most pressing issues of our time.

Recenzii

"A good read, as can be expected from this author. The themes are pertinent, the treatments are well-researched, the judgment is balanced, the style is sober. While the essays are wide ranging, the contents cohere by virtue of Brantlinger's moral passion." - Jan Nederveen Pieterse, author of Is There Hope for Uncle Sam? And Globalization and Culture

"This book is where a lifetime of liberal scholarly study leads one: to revolution. Using his perfect skills as historical archivist, cultural critic, and critical theorist, Brantlinger writes for those insulted and injured by neoliberal economic policies and capitalist modernity in language accessible for action." --Regenia Gagnier, author of Individualism, Decadence and Globalization: On the Relationship of Part to Whole--Regenia Gagnier, author of Individualism, Decadence and Globalization: On the Relationship of Part to Whole
