About this ebook
The book ascribes the late state of paralysis affecting dissent in America to the adoption of a peculiar gospel of divisiveness, which was promoted in the Eighties by importing from France the "theories" of philosopher Michel Foucault.

Opens your eyes to postmodern thinkers immersed in a love of conflict at the expense of morality but Baudrillard might have those impulses but also can legitimately be striving to realise a good and not just enjoying antagonism. The early Foucault I would admit is rather perversely motivated I suspect. All in all awesome insights and a must read for postmodern fans.
