Um, if the rich are so awful and "imperialist", why are you perpetuating their rule by teaching at a tony private school like Crane? (BTW, fascinating comment about your Latino students' observations - had no idea they had any, let alone multiple, Latino kids there.) Overall, this reads like a first year grad student's inchoate ramblings in the student paper on a slow news day - hiding poor writing and faulty logic behind big words and name dropping of critics he counts on the undergrads not having read. I'll give you this, though: "Older Anglo man moving across the dialectic of post-9/11 imperial America"? That was awesome! Funniest thing I've read all day. I want t-shirts made up with that slogan; I'd make a killing selling them to graying liberal arts professors across the country. But then I'd run the risk of using my newfound riches to buy a house too big for the author's liking, thereby becoming less "real". Oh well...
