Trade paperback. Condition: Good. First Paperback Printing [stated]. 450 pages. Some wear and creasing to covers. Inscribed by the author (John Trumpbour) to Alexis; inscription reads For Alexis, Adams Club Tszarina. Fight the Power! Jack Trumpbour. Also contains inscriptions to Alexis by three of her colleagues. The Book includes a preface, as well as chapters on Introducing Harvard; Harvard and the State; Harvard, the Corporations, and the Community; Harvard Science and Pseudo-Science; Education, Ideology, and Social Control; and Strategies for Transformation. Also contains information about the contributors, as well as an Index. This book explores Harvard's abdication of intellectual responsibility, and demolishes in its wake the popular view that Harvard is a "radical," "progressive," or even "ultra-liberal" institution. John Trumpbour studied history at Stanford University and later received a Ph.D. from Harvard University. He is the author of Selling Hollywood to the World: U.S. and European Struggles for Mastery of the Global Film Industry, 1920-1950 and served as editor of The Dividing Rhine: Politics and Society in Contemporary France and Germany. He has contributed an array of essays examining the following topics:How Harvard Rules; Latino contributions to the labor movement for the book Latinos: Remaking America; "the clash of civilizations" thesis in The New Crusades; and the U.S. culture industry's global dominance in The Contemporary Hollywood Film Industry. In Winter 2007, he served as guest editor of The Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journal for its special issue on "The Crisis in Workplace Governance." This collection of 26 essays examines the historical position of Harvard University as one of the nation's most influential institutions. Included are: (1) "Introducing Harvard: A Social, Philosophical, and Political Profile" (John Trumpbour); (2) "How Harvard is Ruled: Administration and Governance at the Corporate University" (Robert Weissman); (3) "Harvard, the Cold War, and the National Security State" (John Trumpbour); (4) "Living with the Bomb: The World According to Bok" (Andrew Kopkind); (5) "Jackboot Liberals" (Alexander Cockburn); (6) "The Business-University Revisited: Industry and Empire in Crimson Cambridge" (John Trumpbour); (7) "Neighborhood Bully: Harvard, the Community, and Urban Development" (Oscar Hernandez and Zachary Robinson); (8) "A History of University Labor Struggles" (Vladimir Escalante); (9) "Blinding Them with Science: Scientific Ideologies in the Ruling of the Modern World" (John Trumpbour); (10) "The Science of Racism" (Jonathan R. Beckwith); (11) "Sexism and Sociobiology: For Our Own Good and the Good of the Species" (Ruth Hubbard); (12) "Ideology in Practice: The Mismeasure of Man" (Stephen Jay Gould); (13) "'Cleaning House': Hiring, Tenure, and Dissent" (John Trumpbour); (14) "The Tenure Process and Its Invisible Kingmaker" (Joseph Menn); (15) "Could Karl Marx Teach Economics in the United States?" (Lawrence S. Lifschultz); (16) "Uppity and Out: A Case Study in the Politics of Faculty Reappointment (and the Limitations of Grievance Procedures)" (Chester Hartman); (17) "Minority and Third World Students" (Cynthia Silva et al.); (18) "Meritocracy and the Manipulation of Ethnic Minorities: The Epps and Evans Affairs" (Eugene Franklin Rivers); (19) "Sexual Shakedown" (Christina Spaulding); (20) "A Note on Professional Schools" (John Trumpbour); (21) "Laying Down the Law: The Empire Strikes Back" (Jamin B.
