The Well-Tempered Self: Citizenship, Culture, and the Postmodern Subject (Parallax: Re-visions of Culture and Society)

"This is a major work on the connection of theoretical to political practice under postmodernity. At once rigorous and readable, its academic concerns will be both accessible and useful to readers asking-as contemporary readers indomitably do-what these debates in cultural theory have to do with the conduct of theirsocial lives."-Meaghan Morris, author of The Pirate's Fiancée: Feminism, Reading, Postmodernism. "Miller's work is extremely engaging, original, and successful in producing a set of innovative analyses of the formation of cultural subjects."-Douglas Kellner, University of Texas, Austin
