The Dissenting Academy is a collection of essays criticizing the teaching of the humanities in American universities. Edited by Theodore Roszak, the book brings together radical and critical voices questioning the role of the university, the moral crisis of the Vietnam era, academic conformity, and the purpose of humanities education. It is a strong period piece from the late 1960s, suited to readers interested in counterculture, radical education, intellectual dissent, and the politics of the university.
