Recenzii
This is a beautiful polemic against the Frankfurt School , Critical Theory and many of the most prominent left academics. It is hard hitting and a good antidote to people getting sucked into anti-Marxism via "Marxism" ... This book is an excellent weapon in the fight against the ideological counterrevolution and the re-establishment of Marxism!
Tony McKenna delivers a vibrant collection of essays on an astonishingly wide variety of topics, from Critical Theory to pop culture, dissecting with sometimes fierce but always insightful polemics the output of figures as different as Louis Althusser and Stephen King. Enlightening and entertaining in equal measure, Mckenna's book is a vigorous and strikingly original defense and revitalization of Marxism as a project of popular empowerment and social transformation.
Tony McKenna is one of the most erudite but readable authors in contemporary social theory and has a proven track record of producing off-piste but relevant analyses of enduring products of popular culture. This volume consolidates his status as a refreshing voice of both theoretical sophistication and contemporary relevance for our increasingly crisis-torn century.
This is a book for anyone who's wondered how the unwavering commitment to human freedom in Marx became the slick repartee of postmodern Marxists. It's a book for people who've come to suspect that the reactionary utterances of some popular, left-wing intellectuals might be tied to the deeper fundamentalism of their initiatives. Prepare to have your idols tested.
[McKenna] carefully examines the texts of self-purported Marxists and shows in a razor-sharp analysis how the war against Marx's methodology has been ragging in academia for almost a century now.
This book is refreshing and long overdue.
