Reviews

""'Hutnyk packs more dynamite in his sentences than any other writer I know.' Amitava Kumar, Penn State University""


Hutnyk packs more dynamite in his sentences than any other writer I know. He is among the finest Marxist polemicists writing today. There are none who can be as devastating in their critique of commodification. -- Amitava Kumar, Associate Professor, Penn State University John Hutnyk is a very fine thinker, a sharp analyst of what is wrong with the academy and a careful reader, at the same time, of those ideas he won,t always go along with. -- Vijay Prashad, author of Keeping Up with the Dow Joneses: Debt, Prison, Workfare (South End Press)
