What about _The Saturated Self_ by ?? Gergen - a description and
discussion of experience in a post modern world. I haven't read it
but it's been recommended to me.
I assume Linny is familiar with Aronowitz & Giroux's _Postmodern
Education: Politics, Culture & Social Criticism_ (1991).... I
recommend Linda Nicholson's (Ed.) _Feminism/Postmodernism_, 1990,
Routledge, for readable discussion of leading issues.
