Publisher Synopsis
"Bousquet is the most trenchant theorist of the current academic labor situation, and How the University Works is the best study of academic labor conditions in the U.S. since the 1970s. It is thoroughly and creatively researched, theoretically bold, often mercifully frank, and frequently poignant in its arguments and findings." VINCENT B. LEITCH, general editor of The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism" Read more...
