This essay explores how, if at all, colleges and universities should intervene in contemporary student protests; the limitations and potential of deliberative democracy in structuring those debates; and whether or not such attempts-however well-intentioned, as Stanley Fish puts it-"erode the constitutive distinctiveness" of the university's mission

The Great Depression and the Culture of Abundance: Kenneth Fearing, Nathanael West, and Mass Culture in the 1930s

In Playing the Changes, Craig Hansen Werner presents a polyrhythmic approach to the continuities and discontinuities of the American literary tradition. He focuses on the relationship between two superficially distinct traditions: European (post)modernism and African American culture in both literary and musical forms. A primary contribution of Playing the Changes is its exploration of different phrasings of issues important to highly conscious A…

This revisionary study discusses public art in the Depression era, proletarian subculture, and the social poetics of Kenneth…
