"Who has the right to know?" asks Jean-Francois Lyotard. "Who has
the right to eat?" asks Peter Madaka Wanyama. This book asks: "what
does it mean to be a responsible academic in a 'northern'
university given the incarnate connections between the university's
operations and death and suffering elsewhere?" Through studies of
the "neoliberal university" in Ontario, the "imperial university"
in relation to East Timor, the "chauvinist university" in relation
to El Salvador, and the "gendered university" in relation to the
Montreal Massacre, the author challenges himself and the reader to
practice intellectual citizenship everywhere from the classroom to
the university commons to the street. Peter Eglin argues that the
moral imperative to do so derives from the concept of incarnation.
Here the idea of incarnation is removed from its Christian context
and replaced with a political-economic interpretation of the
embodiment of exploited labor. This embodiment is presented through
the material goods that link the many's compromised right to eat
with the privileged few's right to know.
