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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68005824266528,"sku":"USED0465041868","price":8.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/5177iDDjFmL.jpg?v=1793080396","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-disappearing-liberal-intellectual-0465041868-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
