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 teaches political science at the University of Montana. He is coeditor, with William Stearns, of Jean Baudrillard: The Disappearance of Art and Politics.
