Opis

Advancing an intersectional theory of hegemony, this book shows how various power relations interact through capitalist structures of othering. Going beyond the usual critiques of capitalism, it analyses the market itself as a principal cause of various forms of externalisation and domination.

Recenzje

This is a refreshing and challenging book. It confronts the only scientific question that is left to us, how to get rid of capitalism (or market society), and in the process it brings together an impressive range of sources and ways of thinking and struggling. It opens doors, suggests directions, stirs us up. Just what is so desperately needed.
