“Smulewicz-Zucker and Thompson (both at Logos: A Journal of Modern Society and Culture) offer a new edited volume of essays that examine what they call the subversion of progressive politics. The volume presents essays from noted writers such as Shadia Drury, Alan Johnson, Russell Jacoby, Joseph Schwartz, Tom Rockmore, John Clark, and others. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and faculty.” (E. C. Sands, Choice, Vol. 54 (2), October, 2016)
"Radical Intellectuals and the Subversion of Progressive Politics is a wonderful and long overdue book. It stakes out very important ground in challenging the various theoreticist evasions from postmodernism, fetishization of Arendt, Zizek, Foucault and others that have propelled and perfumed the articulation of an academic leftism that imagines itself to have transcended obsolete notions class struggle as an epistemic category. These discrete studies, and the book as a whole, should be core reading both for those interested in the thinkers and trends the chapters examine and for anyone interested seriously in left theory and practice and the intellectual history of the last generation of academic leftism." - Adolph Reed, Jr., Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania, USAAbout the authors
