The recent report on the state of scholarship in the humanities and humanistic social sciences has renewed the debate over the internal politicization of academe. As one of its authors (speaking only for myself), I find the report relatively tepid. It offers the middle-of-the-road finding that, while there are reasons to be concerned, the baldest criticisms of the sector are unwarranted. Responses have ranged from slurring the project as McCarthyistic to finding it insufficiently hostile to the fields it examines.
