Power in Modernity: Agency relations and the Creative Destruction of the King’s Two Bodies
“Reed leads us on a journey—from the Salem witch trials to the Whiskey Rebellion, from the French Revolution to ‘the edge of empire—that leaves you breathless from the revelations and rebellions encountered along the way. In this unparalleled work of social theory, Reed has produced a masterpiece.”
–Margaret R. Somers, author of Genealogies of Citizenship
