Читать книгу Neoliberalism's War on Higher Education - Henry A. Giroux - Страница 3

Acknowledgments

This book could not have been completed without the help of many people. My late dear friend Roger Simon provided a range of insightful ideas regarding the Quebec student protest. I will miss his friendship and the many conversations we had. Susan Searls Giroux, Brad Evans, and Michael Peters all contributed greatly to the articles we co-authored and shared. Grace Pollock once again provided editorial advice and skills that continually improve the quality of my writing. My colleague David L. Clark was enormously generous in reading some chapters and offering a range of insightful ideas. Through his kindness, patience, and professional insight, Dr. Bruno Salena contributed greatly to the conditions that allowed me to write this book. Lynn Worsham has always been a wonderful colleague, and I want to thank her for publishing earlier versions of “Intellectual Violence in the Age of Gated Intellectuals” and “Universities Gone Wild” in JAC. I especially want to thank my administrative assistant, Danielle Martak, for reading and editing every word of this book. Her interventions were invaluable, and her insights, editorial help, and administrative skills have greatly improved the quality of the manuscript. This book was written mostly in Hamilton and Toronto, Ontario, during a difficult time in my life—a time made much easier by the continued presence of my two canine companions, Miles and Kaya.
