Description

Explore the connection between higher education and the military-industrial-academic complex in this profound work by Henry Giroux. This book examines why President Eisenhower originally included the term 'academic' in his landmark speech regarding the military-industrial-complex. Giroux explains how Eisenhower's warning remains relevant for 21st-century America. The text details a post-9/11 assault on the academy driven by militarization, corporatization, and right-wing fundamentalists. These forces increasingly view critical thought as a threat to the dominant political order. Giroux provides a deep analysis of how the university has shifted to become a handmaiden of the Pentagon and corporate interests. This book is a vital read for those studying sociology, anthropology, and the political structures of modern education. It offers a serious look at the changing role of the university in a globalized, militarized world. Understand the pressures facing modern academic institutions and the fight to preserve critical thought within the educational system.
