The Discourse of Domination tackles nothing less than the challenge of giving critical theory a new grip on current problems, and restoring the left's faith in the possibility of enlightened social change. Agger steers a course between orthodox Marxism and orthodox anti-Marxism, bringing the concepts of ideology, dialectic, and domination out of the academy and making them into "a living medium of political self-expression."

BEN AGGER is a professor of sociology at the University of Texas at Arlington and the author of many previous books on media and critical theory, including Postponing the Postmodern: Sociological Practices, Selves, and Theories (Rowman and Littlefield, 2002).
