[ecrea] New book: Global Academe: Engaging Public Intellectual Discourse

NEW BOOK: *Global Academe: Engaging Public Intellectual Discourse*

Edited by Silvia Nagy-Zekmi and Karyn Hollis

Palgrave MacMillan  (2012)



Following the line of inquiry advanced in our previous volume, *Truth to
Power: Public Intellectuals In and Out of Academe* (2010), this volume
addresses the representation of the economic, political and cultural
interrelations between agents involved in the process of intellectual
activity, a distinct transformation in intellectual production and the
changing role of academics themselves.



"Taking an international view and offering a range of perspectives, Global
Academe is a refreshing and exciting answer to claims that public
intellectuals are absent from society. Confrontational and provocative, the
essays in this volume argue that intellectuals still wield the power of
public debate. This book proves that public intellectuals are alive and
kicking and that many of them are to be found in institutions of higher
learning."  Sophia McClennen, prof. PSU, author of *America according to
Colbert*.
