Reviews
Dr. Tomlinson is a musicology professor at Yale, committed, as one learns from his bio, to "multidisciplinary exploration". Tomlinson scholarship in this book is dryly informative and his interpretation of historical data comes from a post-Modernist Marxist point of view, in which Derrida's rogue ideas on sociolinguistics and historiography occupy the center stage. Tomlinson, as a typical modern leftist scholar, goes as far as quoting Edward Said's perverted writings when passing an agenda, in which facts are somewhat distorted to fit a profoundly biased scholarship. There is no doubt that the research in the book is of some value, but Tomlinson interprets history like Howard Zinn does, and the result is a faulty hybrid, in which Marxist historiography aggressively sodomizes the author's frigid musicological insights. This is a book that clearly shows what is wrong with the Soviet..., sorry, with the AMERICAN academic system: the Marxist cancer has metastasized to EVERY possible field in the Humanities AND the Arts.
