"A sensitive, sensible, and compelling account of American education at its best."--"Philadelphia Inquirer" Described as one of the "101 Most Dangerous Academics in America" by right-wing critic David Horowitz, Michael Berube has become a leading liberal voice in the ongoing culture wars. This "smooth and swift read" ("New Criterion") offers a definitive rebuttal of conservative activists' most incendiary claims about American universities, and in the process makes a supple case for liberalism itself. An important polemic as well as "a clear-eyed, occasionally quite humorous account of the joys and frustrations of running a college classroom" ("New York Observer"), this book is required reading for anyone concerned about the political climate on and off campus.Berube, Michael is the author of 'What's Liberal About the Liberal Arts?: Classroom Politics and ''Bias'' in Higher Education', published 2007 under ISBN 9780393330700 and ISBN 0393330702.
