About the Author :
Peter C. Herman is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at San Diego State University. He is the author and editor of many books, including Day Late, Dollar Short: The Next Generation and the New Academy, also published by SUNY Press.

Review :
"This book effectively addresses the challenging problem of how cultural studies strategies can be employed in analyzing the emergence of late-twentieth-century theoretical discourses; in doing so, it re-examines a wide range of such discourses, along with their discontents and critics. I am impressed by the high degree of success that the collection achieves in situating theory amid its varied historical' moments, ' including precursors and aftermaths."
