> I'm, unfortunately, not very versed in Hegelian philosophy and because I
go to a small university, in the PA State System, I don't
really have anyone to ask. Could someone on this list
explain to me what he means by an "inverse dialectic" or
point me in the direction of another book, perhaps some
sort of terminology guide (most continental philosophers
that I've attempted to read are opaque because I don't
understand the terms)or whatever, that might help me out
(or both).
Thanks,

Not sure about an "inverse dialectic" - sounds almost mysterious as a negative dialectic. However - I'd recommend Herbert Marcuse's Reason and Revolution for an intro to Hegel and social theory. I'd follow this up by Murray Bookchin - Towards and Ecological Society (esp. if you have tendencies toward anarchism).
