The Dark Side of "Postmodern Moonshine"
Kogan, Steve
Academic Questions, v20 n3 p219-234 Sep 2007
In our summer 2006 issue, we ran a comprehensive overview of how postmodernism has degraded composition on our campuses. Steve Kogan enlarges that indictment and charges that the movement has deliberately corrupted every area of English instruction--from the acquisition of skills and knowledge to the more fundamental mission of developing in students the habits of disciplined learning. (Contains 81 footnotes.)
