This provocative book chronicles the disappearance of the "public
intellectual" in America. For over thirty years, the cultural
landscape has been dominated by the generation of Irving Howe,
Daniel Bell, and John Kenneth Galbraith; no younger group has
arisen to succeed them. Unlike earlier intellectuals who lived in
urban bohemias and wrote for the educated public, today's thinkers
have flocked to the universities, where the politics of tenure loom
larger than the politics of culture. In an incisive and passionate
polemic, Russell Jacoby examines how gentrification,
suburbanization, and academic careerism have sapped the vitality of
American intellectual life.
