From the Foreword to the book, by Susan S. Lanser, Professor Emerita, Brandeis University: "Killer English is not just a "how-to" book, although it is rich in the best pedagogical strategies: it is a profound inquiry into postmodern thought...(it) offers the finest evidence that Foucauldian and Derridean thought, and postmodern theory in general, is itself profoundly pedagogical...

...to make her case, Delia doesn't just "do" pedagogy; she reads theorists like Derrida and Foucault as pedagogy, and in so doing she shows their contributions in a newer and truer light......at a time of precarious democracy and extraordinary threats to a culture of open inquiry, inclusion, and free thought, Killer English offers a path toward the kind of education for critical thinking that is so crucial to a democratic society."

...If you are a theorist, you will understand theory in a new way. If you are a teacher, at whatever academic level from elementary school through graduate students, you will find a myriad of ideas for teaching in new ways. And if you allow it, your classroom will never be the same."

Includes an Afterword by Susan A. Handelman, Professor Emerita, Department of English, Bar-Ilan University, Israel
