The university in chains: confronting the military-industrial-academic complex

Abstract

I know of no more acute a commentator on higher education in the United States today. Henry Giroux's passion for education fires his powerful critique of the university, as it becomes more and more in thrall to big money and to the military. While Giroux's analysis is profound and unsparing, his book concludes with an imaginative strategy to transform the university into a truly democratic institution.
