I would be interested in this also, but it seems that Chomsky is basically just
ignored by these people. There are some broadside criticisms of him, but there is
little if any in-depth discussion by the establishment of Chomsky's views.

I'm not sure what level of introduction you want, but if you need to start at the
very beginning (like myself), the book "Teach Yourself Linquistics" (Fourth
edition by Jean Aitchison) might be a good place to start. Here's a quote from
the back cover: "In its final section, it explores Chomsky's transformational
grammar, and devotes a chapter to his 'Government and Binding' theory." Then
there is "Chomsky for Beginners" by John Maher and Judy Groves.
