Review "Manifesto of a Tenured Radical is the Silent Spring of higher education." --Constance Penley, University of California at Santa Barbara "Armed with a keen conscience and a fearless wit, Cary Nelson exposes the moral bankruptcy that underpins the current crisis of academic labor. From underpaid cafeteria workers and underemployed Ph.D.'s to overindulged professors and CEO- wannabe university presidents, Nelson's groves of academe are littered with inequality and injustice. Whether on the topic of the future of literary studies or the unionization of graduate students, Manifesto of a Tenured Radical presents a devastating case for the correction of the profession." --Andrew Ross, author of Real Love and The Chicago Gangster Theory of Life Long Description In an age when innovative scholarly work is at an all-time high, the academy itself is being rocked by structural change.
