Robert Samuels serves as president of the faculty union University of California-American Federation of Teachers and lectures for the University of California, Santa Barbara Writing Program. He is the author of eight books, including Why Public Higher Education Should Be Free.
"The book's special value is in its willingness to subject other
research in the field to critique. While composition and rhetoric
have plenty of faculty willing to revise or complicate the work of
others, few are willing to subject other researchers to rigorous,
systematic analysis. This book provides a materialist call to
action, suggesting that the point is not merely to understand the
university but to change it."
