Reviews
"John Clarke's career-long talent for enabling reflective critical debate is fully exemplified in these convivial exchanges with accomplished peers. Across the conversations, the complex politics of radicalism, ambivalence and `heteroglossia' is collectively illuminated and advanced." Gregor McLennan, University of Bristol
"Ideas come iteratively: our ways of thinking are formed and developed in conversation with each other. This book shows how that process works, and why it works so well in talking to John Clarke." Richard Freeman, University of Edinburgh
