so you approve of Michaels characterization of the work done by folks like Laura Agustin on immigrant sex workers? That of David Harvey in Potter Addition? They're just a bunch o f people who seek to obtain respect for the poor and working class, right? Their interest in 'agency' isn't to be taken seriously -- charachterized in a sympathetic, internally critical way -- but is simply dismissed out of hand as the work of handmaidens to neo-liberalism.
good to know.
