Böcker av Christopher Newfield

Contending that conservatives have tainted entire academic disciplines, causing university humanists to go from irrelevant to dangerous overnight, the contributors see the PC debates as a struggle over the very purposes of higher education in the United States.

Emphasizing how profoundly the American research university has been shaped by business and the humanities alike, this title offers a vital contribution to debates about the corporatization of higher education in the United States.

Unmaking the Public University is the story of how conservatives have maligned and restructured public universities in a campaign to end public education's democratizing influence on American society.

This book resituates the debate about political correctness in the humanities branch of the academy.
