In the post–World War II period, students rebelled against the university establishment. In student-led movements, women, minorities, immigrants, and indigenous people demanded that universities adapt to better serve the increasingly more heterogeneous public and student bodies. The success of these movements had a profound affect on the intellectual landscape of the twentieth century: out of these efforts were born ethnic studies, women’s studies, and American studies.
In We Demand, Roderick A. Ferguson demonstrates that not up to fifty years since this pivotal shift in the academy, the university is moving away from “the people” in all their diversity. Today the university is refortifying its commitment to the defense of the established order off campus and the regulation of students, faculty, and group of workers on campus. The progressive forms of knowledge that the student-led movements demanded and helped to produce are being attacked on each front. Not only is this a reactionary move against the social advances since the ’60s and ’70s—it is a part of the larger threat of anti-intellectualism in the US.
