"A significant contribution to literary and cultural studies, sure to be consulted for many years by any number of scholars and students in departments of American Studies, English, Film Studies, and beyond." John Howard, King's College London "Though a unique combination of scholarship, readability, and what might be described as moral outrage, I Sing the Body Politic makes its point in a very telling way. Beautifully written, and based on an impressive amount of research, it casts a devastating light on the Bush administration and the political order in recent years."
