Inspiring and thoroughly researched collection of contemporary Marxist essays that engage the struggle of our times.

Book Synopsis

Review Quotes

"[T}he collection of essays presented in this volume aims to demonstrate the richness, rigour and importance of Marx's thought for developing alternative worldviews and politics in the present. We hope the reader will find these texts interesting and useful not only in her efforts to make sense of the world that surrounds us, but also in her fight against the many forms of injustice brought about by capitalism."
--Sara R. Farris, from the introduction
