"Cynical Theories contrasts the academic approaches of liberalism and postmodernism, then argues that 'applied postmodernism' (which focuses on ought rather than is) has displaced other approaches to activism and scholarship. The authors present several academic fields and schools—postcolonial theory, queer theory, critical race theory, intersectionality, fourth-wave feminism, gender studies, fat studies, and ableism—and describe how the "applied postmodernism" approach has developed in each field. The authors use capitalization to distinguish between the liberal concept of social justice and the ideological movement of 'Social Justice' that they state has reified postmodernism."
