The best introduction to post-modern theoreticians. Sarup is very clear about the authors he is writing about, even if the authors are known to be obscure on occasion. The theoretical ambition of the writers is very well portrayed, and he brings to surface the main differences between Lacan, Derrida, Foucault, Cixous, Lyotard and Baudrillard (and more) as well as showing the common thrust of the two movements (post-modernism and post-structuralism). The reading level of the book is accessible to any undergraduate student.
