Countering critics who charge that postmodern positions on language, authority, and power cannot inform effective political responses, this compelling analysis employs these same methods to examine antinuclear politics. Star Wars (the movie and the antimissile system), the Freeze movement, Reaganism, and "lifestyle" politics all receive new treatments. William Chaloupka is professor of political science and environmental studies at the University of Montana. His books include Everybody Knows (1999) and co-author of In the Nature of Things (1993). 192 pages | 1992
