Whether you would truly consider them post-structuralist or not is 
open to question, but you  might want to look at some Frankfurt 
School people.  I'm thinking Adorno, Marcuse, and Neumann in 
particular.  Adorno probably comes closest to post-modernism (Kellner 
and Best in "Critical Interrogations of Post-Modernism" [I think 
that's the title] classify him as proto-post modernist).  Of course, 
Jameson has got something of the post-modern in him, and you might 
want to look at some of his essays (I'm not sure if any of his books 
are really what you are looking for).
