A critical account of how academia and global capital appropriated therevolutionary fervor of the 1960s and 1970s. Roderick A. Ferguson traces and assesses the ways in which the rise of interdisciplines--departments of race, gender, and ethnicity; fields such as queer studies--were not simply a challenge to contemporary power as manifest in academia, the state, and globalcapitalism but were, rather, constitutive of it.
