This author argues these theories are a betrayal of people and mind control ideology
the books is
A prolegomenon to the study of the mystical elements in the anti-essentialism in post-structuralism, postmodernism, feminism and queer theory
"It is as if the theorists have discovered the Buddhist insights but rather than help release people from conventional reality they infact create propaganda and mind control techniques to keep people from the realizations that will free them from the conventional realities these theorist acknowledge themselves. These theorists from a Buddhist point of view are trying to construct identities based on their ideologies rather than deconstruct identities based upon their insight of dencentered selves and reality. They turn around their insights to use for political and power politics against the people as no more than ideological propaganda to control "

katherin w says she thinks there is a reason why it is free IF you are embedded in capitalism you will probably think as a promotion to sell the book or as an ego trip But if you where of a mystical point of view it might be an attempt to expand your mind - but the a person embeded in capitalism would just see that reason as propoganda - but not if it made you money
