African American, Chicano, Asia American, American Indian, women, and queer activists demanded the creation of departments that reflected their histories and experiences, resulting in the formation of interdisciplinary studies programs that hoped to transform both the university and the wider society beyond the campus.In The Reorder of Things, however, Roderick A. Ferguson traces and assesses the ways in which the rise of interdisciplines--departments of race, gender, and ethnicity; fields such as queer studies--were not simply a challenge to contemporary power as manifest in academia, the state, and global capitalism but were, rather, constitutive of it. Ferguson delineates precisely how minority culture and difference as affirmed by legacies of the student movements were appropriated and institutionalized by established networks of power.Critically examining liberationist social movements and the cultural products that have been informed by them, including works by Adrian Piper, Toni Cade Bambara, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Zadie Smith, The Reorder of Things argues for the need to recognize the vulnerabilities of cultural studies to co-option by state power and to develop modes of debate and analysis that may be in the institution but are, unequivocally, not of it"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aDifference Incorporated 606 $aMinorities$xEducation (Higher)$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMinorities$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aUniversities and colleges$xCurricula$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEducational equalization$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMinorities$xEducation (Higher)$xHistory 615 0$aMinorities$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$xHistory 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xCurricula$xHistory 615 0$aEducational equalization$xHistory 676 $a378.1/98209730904 686 $aEDU015000$aSOC008000$2bisacsh 700 $aFerguson$b Roderick A$0713677 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814782703321 996 $aThe reorder of things$94075264 997 $aUNINA
