A superb book . . . [Duggan] reveals just how much the far-reaching
neoliberal revolution has been advanced, at every step of the way,
through insidious appeals to race, gender, and sexuality.--Andrew
Ross, author of The Celebration Chronicles < br>
Brilliantly bold and coherent. [Duggan] rebuts the puritanical and
the implicit, and makes a potent case for various hues of the
unrepresented or underrepresented in American politics."--Akinbola
E. Akinwumi, Politicalaffairs.net
"Duggan's well-reasoned argument is that true progressive change
must occur not in parts but as a unified whole."--Publishers
Weekly
"Finally, a cogent and hard-hitting attack on the cultural politics
of neo-liberalism . . . We need Duggan's book, now more than ever,
to point the way to new progressive politics, real social justice
and a revitalized public intellectual sphere."--Judith Halberstam,
author of Female Masculinity
"Lisa Duggan's insightful, carefully argued, and passionate book
finally makes sense of neo-liberals' rise to power in the 1990s . .
. Duggan leaves us with a brilliant analysis of where we are now
and a map for how to get to a better, more just place."--Tricia
Rose, author of Longing to Tell: Black Women Talk About Sexuality
and Intimacy
