Book Synopsis


Trade Review
This is the only book of its kind: it's a readable, yet expertly crafted, tour through the Frankfurt School, along with a forceful account of why the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory still matters a decade into the new millennium. I can't recommend it highly enough. * Jeffrey T. Nealon, professor of English, Penn State University; co-editor of Rethinking the Frankfurt School *
The book's forthright critique and call to transformation are a breath of fresh air. * Joan Braune, Philosophy in Review *
