Critics Review
‘Fleming’s books are sparklingly sardonic and hilariously angry’ - the Guardian
‘Fleming’s books are sparklingly sardonic and hilariously angry’
– Guardian‘Our foremost critic of management ideology, Peter Fleming, turns his talents to the corporate university and what he rightly calls its authoritarian turn, and he does so with devastating results’
– Stefano Harney, Honorary Professor, Institute of Gender, Sexuality, Race and Social Justice, University of British Columbia‘A brilliant exposé of the scourge of neoliberalism and its dark transformation of higher education into an adjunct of sordid market forces. This is a book that should be read by anyone concerned with not only higher education but the fate of critically engaged agents, collective resistance and democracy itself’
– Henry Giroux, McMaster University Chair for Scholarship in the Public Interest & The Paulo Freire Distinguished Scholar in Critical Pedagogy‘An excellent and important book’
– Journal of Education, Innovation, and Communication‘Powerfully evokes despair and despondency at the loss of the intellectual environment promised of academics’
