About the Author :
Jerald Wallulis is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of South Carolina. He is coeditor of Changing Social Science: Critical Theory and Other Critical Perspectives, also published by SUNY Press, and author of The Hermeneutics of Life History: Personal Achievement and History in Gadamer, Habermas, and Erikson.

Review :
"The New Insecurity identifies issues that are really central to today's society, particularly American society, and hence also to social criticism. Wallulis's book is the Dilbert phenomenon in of course much greater depth, with interesting historical background, elaborated with the assistance of techniques taken from Foucault, and with additional tie-ins with the situation of the contemporary family. It is in fact an in-depth look at the novel, and in some respects frightening, structures of everyday life into which our society has been descending over the past twenty years or so." - William L. McBride, Purdue University
