Spirit of Disobedience Resisting the Charms of Fake Politics, Mindless Consumption, And the Culture of Total Work

With his trademark intelligence and humor, Curtis White argues that the American left needs a new and compelling spiritual basis for its politics, and that its seeds can be discovered in Thoreau's spiritual politics of refusal and a return to human "fundamentals" especially work, home, and food. Along the way, White offers a shrewd reading of the cult classic Office Space, a scathing critique of Bill Maher's political comedy, and other acerbic cultural commentary. The book includes provocative interviews with James Howard Kunstler, John de Graaf, and Michael Ableman.White, Curtis is the author of 'Spirit of Disobedience Resisting the Charms of Fake Politics, Mindless Consumption, And the Culture of Total Work', published 2006 under ISBN 9780977825318 and ISBN 0977825310.
