Brown and Halley have assembled essays from diverse contributors--law professors, philosophers, political theorists, and literary critics--united chiefly by their willingness to think critically "from" the left "about "left legal projects. The essays themselves vary by topic, by theoretical approach, and by conclusion. While some contributors attempt to rework particular left legal projects, others insist upon abandoning or replacing those projects. Still others leave open the question of what is to be done as they devote their critical attention to understanding what we are doing. Above all, "Left Legalism/Left Critique" is a rare contemporary argument and model for the intellectually exhilarating and politically enriching dimensions of left critique--dimensions that persist even, and perhaps especially, when critique is unsure of the intellectual and political possibilities it may produce.
