Essays on politics, power, and culture from one of Americas most eminent criticsIn Only a Voice, George Scialabba examines the chasm between modernity's promise of progress and the sobering reality of our present day through studies of the most influential public intellectuals of our time.In Scialabba's hands, literary criticism becomes a powerful tool for expressing political passion and demonstrating the generative power of argument and an inquisitive mind. Drawing together a diverse group of thinkers, artists, activists, and philosophersincluding Edward Said, D. H. Lawrence, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ellen Willis, and Noam ChomskyScialabba tours western intellectual history to find that no matter the stakes, critical thought remains a necessary precondition for politics.Every writer, Scialabba writes, faces the choice of whether 'to tilt at the state and capital or ignore them' and the world now is too dire not to choose the former.
