From Rufo's Introduction:The ambition of this book is to reveal the inner history of America’scultural revolution, tracing the arc of its development from its origin pointto the present day. The book is divided into four parts: revolution, race,education, and power. Each part begins with a biographical portrait of thefour prophets of the revolution: Herbert Marcuse, Angela Davis, PauloFreire, and Derrick Bell. These figures established the disciplines of criticaltheory, critical praxis, critical pedagogy, and critical race theory, which, inthe subsequent half century, multiplied into a hundred subdisciplines anddevoured the university, the street, the school, and the bureaucracy.Together they represent the intellectual genesis of the revolution. Theirideas, concepts, language, and tactics shaped and now suffuse the politics ofthe present.
