Description
Book Synopsis"People sometimes believe that they were born too late or too early. After reading Donoghue's book, I feel that I have timed it just right, for it seems that I have had a career that would not have been available to me had I entered the world 50 years later. Just lucky, I guess."-The New York Times

Kimball -The Journal of Higher Education "Donoghue's well written, thoroughly documented and convincingly reported book is a must read..." -The Ukrainian Quarterly "... focuses on the daunting challenges facing new humanities Ph.D.s in an increasingly corporatized academy." -Technology and Culture "... Donoghue writes that tenure-track and tenured professors now make up only 35 percent of college facutly, and that number is steadily falling." -- -Valerie Saturen In These Times "Donoghue says that in our time the corporate university will end professors as we have come to know them." -- -Leonard R.
