Radical Social Change in the United States: Badiou's Apostle and the Post-Factual Moment de Joanna Swanger

Radical Social Change in the United States: Badiou's Apostle and the Post-Factual Moment

Autor Joanna Swanger
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 noi 2016
This book tackles the question of why the United States is so resistant to radical change towards economic justice and peace. Taking full stock of the despair that launched the popular support for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, Swanger historicizes the political paralysis of post-1974 United States that deepened already severe economic inequalities, asking how the terrain for social movements in the early  twenty-first-century US differs from that of the 1960s.  This terrain is marked by the entrenchment of neoliberalism, anti-intellectualism, and difficulties paradoxically posed by the ease of social media. Activists now must contend with a paralyzing “post-factual” moment. Alain Badiou’s thought informs this book on breaking through contemporary political paralysis.
