Jesse Jackson’s “Suburban Ecologies”: Irvine, Refracted
For Catherine Liu, Jesse Jackson’s exhibit “Suburban Ecologies” affords a provocative and unsettling reading of Irvine.
Catherine Liu is most recently author of Virtue Hoarders: the Case Against the Professional Managerial Class (University of Minnesota Press, 2021). Author of two academic monographs, Copying Machines: Taking Notes for the Automaton and American Idyll: Academic Anti-Elitism as Cultural Critique, she has also published a novel called Oriental Girls Desire Romance. President of the Western Humanities Alliance, she edited a special issue of the Western Humanities Review (2016) on the topic of Prestige. She is at work on a memoir called Panda Gifts, and is a contributor to Liza Featherstone's collection False Choices: the Faux Feminism of Hillary Clinton. Her interest in the populist rebellion against the Professional Managerial Class seems to have been redeemed by recent events.
