Review
The ubiquitous Beginner’s Series is back once again, employing its familiar cut-to-the-chase attitude, drawings, and tongue-in-cheek humor to mine the tricky terrain of Structuralism and Post-structuralism. Unlike Culler, David Palmer provides a theorist by theorist approach as he distills the work of Saussure, Lévi-Strauss, Barthes, Lacan, Foucault, and Derrida and provides a very handy glossary. While some might turn their nose up at the sometimes irreverent attitude, Palmer does deliver the goods as the book provides both an excellent introduction to these thinkers work as well as the confidence to tackle the works themselves
