This volume fully demonstrates the openness and creativity of Marxism at the present time, and it exemplifies the various ways in which Marxist thought is being elaborated and rearticulated at many different sites to grapple with the severe crises that are currently besetting the globe. Virtually no sphere of human knowledge and activity is left untouched by the contributors to this volume--philosophy, economics, education, the arts, political theory, science, history, ecology, ethnic and gender studies, international relations, geography, and archaeology all receive stimulating, novel treatment here. The work of well-established figures--such as Balibar, Fraser, Levins, Mandel, Miliband, Resnick, Rowbotham, Spivak, Wallerstein, and Wolff--appears in this volume alongside the contributions of many emerging and stimulating thinkers like Amariglio, Graham, Hardt, Harlow, Kumar, Montag, and Ruccio. Together they open new horizons for reflection, and many original points of departure for a renewal of the traditional Marxist commitment both to thoroughgoing critique of the prevailing hegemony and to social transformation.
