This study addresses the ways in which modern American thinkers have intervened in the public sphere and attempted to mediate relations between social and political institutions and cultural and intellectual production. Chapters on both well-known and neglected public intellectuals address problems of critical dissent during wartime, the contemporary crisis of the humanities under neoliberalism, and the perils of consumer culture and popular taste, arguing that any ""use-value"" theory of intellectual production is limiting. 606 $aIntellectuals$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWar and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDissenters$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCriticism$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRadicals$zUnited States 615 0$aIntellectuals$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aWar and literature$xHistory 615 0$aDissenters$xHistory 615 0$aCriticism$xHistory 615 0$aRadicals 676 $a320.530973 700 $aRedding$b Arthur F.$f1964-$01647216 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819430903321 996 $aRadical legacies$93994659 997 $aUNINA
