Thinking of my final questions here, I'm wondering how WBM's forthcoming book (The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality) initiates a pedagogical pursuit of its own. After all, it's published by a popular press (Metropolitan Books) instead of a university press (his first three books' publishers were UC, Duke, and Princeton).

I've heard less-than-generous things said of the fact that Greenblatt's latest work was published by Norton. But it will be interesting to see how the content of The Trouble with Diversity matches up with its audience.
