Dream and Political Economy: Higher Education and Late
Capitalism, Special issue of International Journal of
Qualitative Studies in Education, Volume 12(3), (1999).
The research reported in this article was
supported by a National Academy of Education Spencer Postdoctoral
Fellowship. The argument benefitted from presentation and
discussion at the session on Late Capitalist Economies and Higher
Education: Challenges to Anthropology at the Annual Meeting of the
American Anthropological Association, November, 1997. Revised
drafts were prepared while on sabbatical from the University at
Albany/SUNY in Spring 1998. Doug Foley provided timely criticisms
of both the original presentation and a subsequent written
version. Fiona Thompson read the entire manuscript twice and
provided editorial advice.
