Bourdieu’s Secret Admirer in the Caucasus is a gripping account of the developmental dynamics involved in the collapse of Soviet socialism. Fusing a narrative of human agency to his critical discussion of structural forces, Georgi M. Derluguian reconstructs from firsthand accounts the life story of Musa Shanib—who from a small town in the Caucasus grew to be a prominent leader in the Chechen revolution. In his examination of Shanib and his keen interest in the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, Derluguian discerns how and why this dissident intellectual became a nationalist warlord.Explorin

Author Case Wagenvoord’s alter ego Belacqua Jones—a Karl Rove on meth—peppers the president with daily suggestions for policy initiatives designed to carry America to new heights of greatness. Looking at a world through a mind distorted by too many controlled substances, Jones shines his twisted light on the dark corners of America.
