Publisher's Summary

Have you ever felt like the world is built on shifting sand? Like the "truths" we're told are really just tools of control? If so, this book is your guide to seeing behind the curtain.
In Subversive Structures - Language, Discourse, and Domination we dive into the mind-bending ideas of philosophers Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault. They'll shake your understanding of language, knowledge, and the systems that shape our lives. Get ready to discover:

  • How words can be used to manipulate and mislead, and how to fight back.
  • The hidden ways institutions like schools, hospitals, and even the law uphold hidden power structures.
  • Why your own identity is more fluid and powerful than you might think.
  • How to use this critical lens to analyze anything from political speeches to school textbooks.

This book isn't about making you a cynic – it's about giving you the mental tools to see the world more clearly. If you're ready to question everything, challenge power structures, and find your place in a world full of potential change, this book is for you!
