Overview
Robert Young's powerful critique of the politics of theory shows how the dynamics of this schism are repeated in contemporary debates about historicism, psychoanalysis, racism, and the academic institution itself. In their dialectics of identity and difference, power and resistance, subversion and containment, North and South, centre and margin the heart of contemporary political and theoretical debate today's cultural theories themselves act out the torn halves of a conflictual culture.Book Details
