False advertising

I earned a Master’s in the Humanities thirty years ago, and I bought this book based on the description that it is about recent trends in cultural studies. This book is NOT about cultural studies. It is a self-indulgent memoir of a cultural studies professor who lost her husband, also a cultural studies professor.

The few minutes that she discusses cultural theory are highly rhetorical, but I can find nothing of substance beyond the flowery style and unsubstantiated assertions.

How someone deals with the death of a loved one can be a powerful story, but don’t sell it as an academic paper.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
