"A tour de force that masterfully conceptualizes the paradoxes of emancipation: the challenge of practicing radical politics within and against neoliberalism's tendency to incorporate critical activities."-Maria Boletsi, Endowed Professor of Modern Greek Studies at the University of Amsterdam and Associate Professor in Film and Literary Studies at Leiden University "Soudias has written a tremendously important book about Greece's recent past, in which the country was the prime example of neo-liberal cruel policies."-Jan Willem Duyvendak, author of The Return of the Native: Can Liberalism Safeguard Us Against Nativism? "In carefully grounded research, Soudias explores the emergent subjectivities of the Syntagma Square occupation, their transformative potentialities and the traps neoliberal rationality has been setting for them. This is a book of sober analysis combined with a much-needed optimism for an emancipatory society."-Stavros Stavrides, National Technical University of Athens
