The Politics of Culture in the Shadow of Capital

"This powerful collection renders a most difficult and welcome service: it makes clear the means by which particular culturally-situated struggles remake 'the global.' It shows us that the terrain on which economic and political contradictions are fought is culture; that antiracist and feminist struggles remake our understanding of materialist analysis; and that traversing the globe demands theoretical transportation in multiple directions."--Wahneema Lubiano, Duke University

Riassunto

Global in scope, but refusing a familiar totalising theoretical framework, this title demonstrates how localised and resistant social practices - including anti-colonial and feminist struggles, peasant revolts, labour organising, and various cultural movements - challenge contemporary capitalism as a highly differentiated mode of production.
