Title: Self-congratulation By Establishment Mouthpieces
Review: This is a collection of sophisticated, well-written essays by popular scholars of the pundit persuasion whose success (here and elsewhere) depends largely upon their function as mouthpieces for establishment sentiment. Not much here that would count as incisive analysis, and generally undocumented. Strong on righteous indignation, demonization and red-white-and-blue jingoism with an intellectual patina. Will be very comforting to readers who like to indulge themselves in that sort of direction through the medium of slick academic rhetoric.
