"Ideology, Interrupted is an illuminating book of sophisticated cultural criticism and political theory. Robin Truth Goodman demonstrates that the crisis of democracy and political agency is based on a failure of ideology, providing one brilliant theoretical insight after the other, with a thesis that is simultaneously timely, sophisticated, and persuasive." —Alexander J. Means, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa"A powerful and original intervention, Ideology, Interrupted rethinks the fate of political subjectivity in an era of democratic crisis. Robin Truth Goodman shows how ideology no longer secures belonging or recognition, producing instead a widespread condition of political precarity. Theoretically rich and strikingly relevant, this book is an essential contribution to contemporary debates on democracy, neoliberalism, and the erosion of collective agency." —Henry A. Giroux, author of Disappearing Futures: Education Against the Politics of Disposability
