Publisher's Synopsis
Cultural Writing. Politics. Shor's incisive commentaries and essays survey the spectacles that have come to dominate the political and cultural landscape of Bushwhacked America. Combining an academic's careful research and a political activist's quest for justice, Shor speaks plainly and speaks with passion in these essays that analyze the political and cultural crisis of the contemporary United States--Robert Jensen, author of Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity. Shor really helps us to understand how we got into the current mess and what might be done to create a much more humane future. He encourages us to leave illusions behind and get on with confronting grim realities of this era--Norman Solomon, Author of War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death. Fran Shor, a Professor in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, teaches historical and cultural studies at Wayne State University.
