Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post-Marxism

"This Handbook is an outstanding contribution to Marxist scholarship. The chapters dealing with the various authors or issues are all of exceptional intellectual and political quality. Anyone interested in the Marxist tradition and on the present debates cannot miss reading this remarkable collection."

Michael Löwy,Emeritus Research Director National Center for Scientific Research, Paris

"The analysis of Marxism alongside the many currents of critical thought that have engaged with it over the years could not be more urgent. This splendid volume offers both the perfect introduction to the topic, and nuanced philosophical analyses of the relationship between Marxism and post-Marxist critiques of injustice based on gender, race and ethnicity. This is an intelligent and erudite book that shows us not only how to read Marx but also how to place the struggle against capitalism at the heart of a historically-sensitive, philosophically rigorous, genuinely intersectional, and decolonised, collective enterprise."

Lea Ypi, Professor of Political Theory, London School of Economics and Political Science

"The internationalization of Marxism, as is also well highlighted by this Handbook, has brought with it considerable expectations, nurtured by a vast plethora of subjects, in both theoretical and political contexts … This volume presents itself as a map that marks the points where it is advisable to stop in order to confront the contemporary articulation of capital and its implications for different areas, of both political economy and philosophical thought and of life."

Emanuale Lepore, MicroMega

"The Handbook is praise-worthy for plenty of reasons. It presents a great version of the Who’s Who of Marxism. It is an interdisciplinary undertaking. It is also an international project: it contains a wide range of scholars, from within Europe and outside. It shows that many good ideas have come from the Global South, some of which, as Prashad eloquently shows, connect the past traditions of ‘primitive socialism’ to contemporary people’s struggles. The Handbook also gives space to new versions of Marxism. ... The Handbook is an excellent intellectual map of global Marxism. If you wish to quickly have a sound idea about how Marxists think about the world, this Handbook is handy."
