Exalted Slogans

by
Yasmin Nair
i wasn't sure about this at first (wondered if it was, weirdly, a critique of lefties? Cornel West and George Ciccariello-Maher) but it made more sense as the article developed: it's a critique of academic discourse that isn't centering the material conditions of academia. good take
