Bruno Latour - Reassembling the Political

A delightful, informative read for Latour novices and experts alike' - Ian Bogost Ivan Allen College Distinguished Chair in Media Studies and author of Alien Phenomenology, or What it's Like to Be a Thing 'With refreshing creativity, Graham Harman extracts his political project from Bruno Latour's philosophical writings. His book lucidly maps out the course that Latour's thought charts across left and right - truth and power - not because this opposition doesn't matter, but because for all their practical urgency, today's crises also present a great intellectual challenge, requiring a redefinition of the very objectives of politics' - Noortje Marres, Goldsmiths, University of London
