Tenured Radicals: How Politics Has Corrupted Our Higher Education - Softcover

A withering critique.--Jonathan Yardley "Washington Post Book World " Mr. Kimball names his enemies precisely...this book will breed fistfights.--Roger Rosenblatt "New York Times Book Review " A bravado performance of critical journalism...vivid, amusing, dismaying.--Robert Alter "Newsday " A stinging account...provokes constant reflection and occasional laughter.--Roger Shattuck, author of "The Banquet Years" All persons serious about education should see it.--Allan Bloom, author of "The Closing of the American Mind"

Since "Tenured Radicals" first appeared in 1990, it has achieved the status of a minor classic. Trenchant and witty, it lays bare the sham of what now passes for serious teaching and research in the humanities at American universites.
