About this title

About the Author

"Alan Wald ranks among the most important intellectual historians of the literary and cultural left in the United States . . . Wald's prose is perfectly free from jargon . . . a fine counterpoint to the fashionable lament that lucid left writing is a thing of the past."

—In These Times
"Wald addresses a wider audience in this honest, timely, and wide-ranging collection . . . should engage anyone interested in cultural studies, American intellectual history, or social and political change."
