Indeed, \u003cb\u003eBad Subjects\u003c\/b\u003e itself is simultaneously a valuable resource and an inspiration, a record of what politically-engaged cultural criticism can achieve, and an example of a progressive political community making use of new technologies.\u003cbr\u003e Offering a way out of vulgar multiculturalism--based on separatism and the idea of authenticity--into a critical identity politics founded on coalitions, hybridity, and class consciousness, \u003cb\u003eBad Subjects\u003c\/b\u003espeaks to readers both in and outside of the academy.
