After Political Correctness
This book resituates the political correctness debates in the humanities branch of the academy. It contends that conservatives have tainted entire academic disciplines to cause university humanists to go from irrelevant to dangerous overnight.
River Pigs and Cayuses
A long-time hiker and good listener, Strickland decided at some point to start recording the stories he heard on his rambles, especially between 1970 and 1983 as he was exploring and choosing routes for what eventually became the Pacific Northwest Trail, winding from the Rocky Mountains to the ocean. Here are 31 of them, first published in 1979 by Lexikos, San Francisco. He includes a glossary of odd terms, but does not explain how to pronounce them. c. Book News Inc.

Growing Up Postmodern
This collection takes its inspiration from Paul Goodman's Growing Up Absurd, a landmark critique of American culture at the end of the 1950s. The contributors to this volume focus on adverse social conditions that confront young people in postmodernity, such as the relentless pressure to consume, social dis-investment in education, harsh responses to youth crime, and the continuing climate of intolerance that falls heavily on the young. In essays on education, youth crime, counseling, protest movements, fiction, identity-formation and popular culture, the contributors look for moments of resistance to the subsumption of youth culture under the logic of global capitalism.
Flaubert, Beckett, NDiaye
The ten essays of this comparative study examine the strange kinship of the francophone writers Gustave Flaubert, Samuel Beckett and Marie NDiaye, all of whom are linked, it is argued, by their common preoccupation with aesthetic, emotional and political failure.

Making America, Making American Literature
If 1776 heralds America's Birth of the Nation, so, too, it witnesses the rise of a matching, and overlapping, American Literature. For between the 1770s and the 1820s American writing moves on from the ancestral Puritanism of New England and Virginia - though not, as yet, into the American Renaissance so strikingly called for by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Even so, the concourse of voices which arise in this period, that is between (and including) Benjamin Franklin and James Fenimore Cooper, mark both a key transitional literary generation and yet one all too easily passed over in its own imaginative right. This collection of fifteen specially commissioned essays seeks to establish new bearings, a ...
Beyond the Corporate University
Prominent scholars in this book move boldly beyond critique to show how and why the critical functions of a democratically informed civic education (not merely professional training) must become the core of the university's mission. They show why higher education must address what it means to relate knowledge to public life, and social responsibility to the demands of critical citizenship. Moreover, they show why democratic forms of education and various elements of a critical pedagogy are vital not only to individual students, but also to our economy and our democratic institutions and future leadership.
