Publisher Synopsis
McBrides heady collection is an accessible think piece, starting with its agreeable title and its pointed essay of the same name. * Time Out New York * Possibly the best title of the season. * Books to Watch out For * A fair warning from an intelligent, well-informed writer. * Alter Magazine * A thrilling, imaginative, and brilliant reading of contemporary cultural politics from one of the freshest voices in the field today. Dwight McBrides graceful prose, sharp wit, and sound judgments leap from every page. His essays sparkle with abundant intelligenceand a striking personal investmentas they lead the reader through a complex array of ideas, practices, and situations without losing sight of the ultimate intellectual and political liberation at which they aim.

We all have something to learn from him. -- Michael Warner,Rutgers University Read more...
