Synopsis:
These essays represent a collective questioning of the post-structuralist ascendancy, and of the assumptions involved. In a symposium held at the University of Alabama in 1992, scholars were charged with examining the status of post-structuralist theory and with speculating upon its future.
Review:
A superb collection of essays, one that is both timely, without being, like white bread, time limited, provocative, without being surly, cantankerous, or precious. As a whole the collection is noteworthy for the consistently high intellectual quality of its contributions and for the general lucidity with which its several arguments are presented.
--James L. Battersby, author of Reason and the Nature of Texts and Unorthodox Views: Reflections on Reality, Truth, and Meaning in Current Social, Cultural, and Critical Discourse
"A uniformly strong group of contributors. All of those involved are prominent voices in the national debate. The theme of the volume is the peculiar combination of social activism and poststructuralism that has come to dominate college literature programs across the country and that its devotees think of simply as literary theory."
--John M. Ellis, author of Literature Lost: Social Agendas and the Corruption of the Humanities
