By Lawrence Grossberg

In We All Want to Change the World, Lawrence Grossberg continues his analysis of the changing popular and political cultures—and the increasingly conservative and intensely capitalist vectors of change—of the United States during the last fifty years. This time, however, he turns his attention from the forces that seem to be defining the success of those vectors to the counterforces of dissatisfaction, resistance, opposition and creative alternatives, as a vital part of understanding what’s going on.
