<p>"The essays are all very intelligent, clear, and original. They present the Frankfurt School in a new light, in relation to contemporary concerns of the new century. The reinterpretations of the theoretical character of the Frankfurt School in the first part are as rewarding as the applications of it as a method of cultural analysis and critique in the second part. The introduction by Nealon and Irr and the concluding article by Heller provide a nice historical context of both the movement and the need for reinterpretation today." — David M. Kaplan, Polytechnic University</p><p>"This book is important in itself and also central to current debates raging in cultural studies, if not also to the future of the Frankfurt School's legacy in critical social theory." — David Michael Levin, author of The Philosopher's Gaze: Modernity in the Shadows of Enlightenment</p>
