Description
What ever happened with that liberal intellectual boom of the 1980s and 1990s? In The Disappearing Liberal Intellectual, Eric Lott -- author of the prizewinning Love and Theft -- shows that the charter members of the new left are suffering from a condition that he has dubbed boomeritis. Too secure in their university appointments, lecture tours, and book deals, the once rising stars of the liberal elite -- including Richard Rorty, Todd Gitlin, Michael Lind, Paul Berman, Greil Marcus, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. -- have drifted away from their radical moorings toward the political center. At once a chronicle of recent intellectual life and a polemic against contemporary liberalism's accommodations of the conservative status quo, The Disappearing Liberal Intellectual eviscerates the complacency that has seeped into the politics of the would-be vanguard of American intellectual thought. Lott issues a wake-up call to the great public intellectuals of our day and challenges them to reinvigorate political debate on campus, in their writing, and on the airwaves.
