Wars of Position, the Cultural Politics of Left and Right, by Timothy Brennan

Cultural status is one of the main determinants of a person's level of decision making or political power. As i'll be explaining shortly, the concepts of left and right are crucial to understanding which side is which in cultural battles where people with less rights are trying to get more rights. The author manages to fill 300 plus pages without defining the main concepts that he's supposedly writing about. He just expects you to feel what they mean. All this confusion begs the question, why do we even need lefton write any more? Don't we want people thinking for themselves instead of according to some pre packaged idea, logical scripts?
