French Theory
How Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, & Co. Transformed the Intellectual Life of the United States

François Cusset
Translated by Jeff Fort

“The Atlantic Ocean has two sides, and so does French Theory. Reinvented in America and betrayed in its own country, it has become the most radical intellectual movement in the West with global reach, rewriting Marx in light of late capitalism. Breathtakingly moving back and forth between the two cultures, François Cusset takes us through a dazzling intellectual adventure that illuminates the past thirty years, and many more decades to come.”
