Counterrevolution and Repression in the Politics of Education: At the Midnight of Dissent

In this book, Sean Noah Walsh applies Herbert Marcuse's observations on counterrevolution to recent developments in education politics. Seemingly disparate issues such as the exercise of state power to reorganize curricula, the derision of intellectuals, the permeation of consumerism into the collegiate experience, and the expansion of online teaching belong to the same strategy in which the faculties of dissent are neutralized before they can develop and dissent is established as the paramount political obscenity.
