What’s Liberal About the Liberal Arts?: Classroom Politics and Bias in Higher Education

Described as one of the 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America by right-wing critic David Horowitz, Michael Berube has become a leading liberal voice in the ongoing culture wars in America. What’s Liberal About the Liberal Arts? offers a definitive rebuttal of conservative activists’ most incendiary claims about American universities and in the process makes a supple case for liberalism itself. An important polemic as well as a clear-eyed, occasionally quite humorous account of the joys and frustrations of running a college classroom ( New York Observer ), this book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the political climate on and off campus.
