On the Way to Theory

"With an extraordinarily broad vision and in wonderfully accessible language, Lawrence Grossberg provides a modern Guide for the Perplexed that lays out the background necessary for anyone facing the challenges of contemporary theory." - Michael Hardt, author of The Subversive Seventies "Offering a robust account of some notoriously difficult thinkers and their relationships to each other, On the Way to Theory presents a convincing case for a specific genealogy of contemporary theoretical thought as it bears upon the humanities and social sciences. This clearly written, unique, and highly distinctive resource will prove utterly indispensable to its readers." - Jeremy Gilbert, coauthor of Hegemony Now: How Big Tech and Wall Street Won the World (and How We Win It Back)
