Alternative Futures and the Present: Postcolonial Possibilities de Ranabir Samaddar

Alternative Futures and the Present: Postcolonial Possibilities: Critiques and Alternatives to Capitalism

Autor Ranabir Samaddar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2024
This book explores the idea that alternatives to our present condition are available in the present, such that a search for alternatives must involve rigorous study of some of its central texts, events, and thinkers.
Through engagement with selected modern thinkers, texts, and events, it imagines a different future from the position of the current postcolonial moment, indicating the possibilities that emerge from the present and which shape contemporary radical thinking.
An invitation to imagine a possible future marked with alternative possibilities of conducting struggles, and living through contentions and social restructuring, it will appeal to scholars with interests in social and political theory, political philosophy, colonialism and postcolonialism, and historical materialism.
