{"product_id":"the-disappearing-liberal-intellectual-9780465041862","title":"The Disappearing Liberal Intellectual","description":"What ever happened with that liberal intellectual boom of the 1980s and 1990s? In \u003ci\u003eThe Disappearing Liberal Intellectual\u003c\/i\u003e, Eric Lott -- author of the prizewinning \u003ci\u003eLove and Theft\u003c\/i\u003e -- shows that the charter members of the new left are suffering from a condition that he has dubbed boomeritis. Too secure in their university appointments, lecture tours, and book deals, the once rising stars of the liberal elite -- including Richard Rorty, Todd Gitlin, Michael Lind, Paul Berman, Greil Marcus, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. -- have drifted away from their radical moorings toward the political center. At once a chronicle of recent intellectual life and a polemic against contemporary liberalism's accommodations of the conservative status quo, \u003ci\u003eThe Disappearing Liberal Intellectual\u003c\/i\u003e eviscerates the complacency that has seeped into the politics of the would-be vanguard of American intellectual thought. Lott issues a wake-up call to the great public intellectuals of our day and challenges them to reinvigorate political debate on campus, in their writing, and on the airwaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Lott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.26w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465041862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/20\/2006 pg. 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2006 pg. 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Lott\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of English at the University of Virginia.
