A compelling and original book which provides critical and much needed insight into the workings of contemporary American politics. There isn't anyone else doing this kind of work in political theory. -- Joan W. Scott, Institute for Advanced Study
Wendy Brown is Professor of Women's Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the author of Manhood and Politics: A Feminist Reading in Political Theory.
"Wendy Brown undertakes a critical analysis of late modern state power to reveal how identity politics translated into rights claims ...
