Recenzii
“My strongest recommendation is to read Tony McKenna’s book as an exercise in Marxist dialectics. Not only will it help you to understand Tupac Shakur and Vincent Van Gogh better; it will arm you for the big battles we face down the road.” (The Unrepentent Marxist, louisproyect.org, May, 2016)
“Tony McKenna’s book … illustrates both the possibility and relevance of a consistent Marxist approach to culture, which understands it both as a social product and as autonomous art in its own right. … McKenna writes like a fan, and thus speaks to the fan in all of us. As a result he has produced a work which should enrich our understanding of both popular culture and the Marxist tradition, and is almost as enjoyable as its subjects.” (Dan Swain, Marx and Philosophy Reviews, marxandphilosophy.org.uk, February, 2016)
