my review of Critique of Critique by Roy Ben-Shai--- "Critique of Critique of Critique": muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/9…
Lots of great academic books out there. This is rarer: a necessary one.
It shows how the humanities can be positive, productive, and joyful — not just critical and suspicious.
If we’re going to make the field attractive again, it’ll be through books like this. A++

In 1925, playwright Berta Lask wrote a play to mark the 400th anniversary of the German Peasants’ War. It has the Benjaminian premise of Thomas Müntzer rising from the grave 400 years later to tell the tale.
