Giroux takes on the contradictions and folly of academic anti-intellectualism in ironic and dialectical fashion, for implicit in her critique is an affirmation of the value of intellectual work. \u003ci\u003eBetween Race and Reason\u003c\/i\u003e brings to the fore a series of repressed terms in the conjunction of race and politics—racial-politics, politics-of-race, and many more—and shows that the effort to banish politics from universities has made them more political than ever, provocatively observing that 'political correctness' has mutated into 'patriotic correctness.'\" -- Lewis Ricardo Gordon\u003cbr\u003e\"Race is changing in our midst and it is crucial that we understand its shifting nature, and the implications for the future of the US as a racialized nation state. A response is in order and \u003ci\u003eBetween Race and Reason\u003c\/i\u003e provides it. We speak of legal citizenship, cultural citizenship, and now, with the advent of this book, we can add intellectual citizenship.\" -- Zeus Leonardo, University of California\u003cbr\u003e\"In this highly articulate and cogently argued study, Susan Searls Giroux shows how the politics of higher education, since the Civil Rights Movement victories of the 1960s, have re-fashioned the university into something far removed from the ideal of a haven for independent thought and research.\" -- Ruth Tait * \u003ci\u003eEthnicity and Race in a Changing World: A Review Journal\u003c\/i\u003e *","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405588210007,"sku":"9780804770484","price":22.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804770484.jpg?v=1730492928","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/between-race-and-reason-9780804770484","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
