Books by Duncan Kennedy

Kennedy argues that American radicalism is possible and desirable. One base for radical politics is the institutional workplace; another is popular culture (hence, sexy dressing). Kennedy's aim is to wed the rebelliousness, irony, and irrationalism of cultural modernism and postmodernism to the earnestness of political correctness.

This book examines the political nature of legal decisionmaking, and offers a sustained attempt to integrate the American approach to law with the Continental tradition in social theory, philosophy, and psychology. At its center is the question of how politics affects judicial activity-and how lawmaking by judges affects American politics.

This well-known 'underground' classic critique of legal education is available for the first time in book form. This edition contains commentary by leading legal educations.
