| Abstract
|
:
|
Jacoby chronicles the disappearance of the nonacademic intellectual from American cultural life. Intellectuals who first emerged 30 years ago, like Daniel Bell, William F. Buckley Jr., and John Kenneth Galbraith, still command respect. Along with others--C.Wright Mills, Lewis Mumford, and Edmund Wilson--these "last intellectuals" thought and wrote for the educated public. Yet they are now "an endangered species, without younger successors." Russell Jacoby examines how suburbanization and "gentrification" have destroyed the urban and bohemian habitats of the "last-intellectuals." He asserts that they are a missing generation, who have had little impact on a public world. ISBN 0-465-03812-3 : $18.95.
