Query: Not very readable

I have found it very challenging to get through this book. It is written in a very academic style and focuses considerably on previous research. I cannot understand from the discussion exactly what is being put forward as relevant understandings in today's world. I wish I had a dollar for every time the author says 'as I argued in...' or 'what I will argue in...'. This is driving me nuts. I have had a couple of tries at ploughing through this book but I just can't cope with the writing style.
