Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital
ISBN: 9781844679768 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Postcolonial theory has become enormously influential as a framework for understanding the Global South. It is also a school of thought popular because of its rejection of the supposedly universalizing categories of the Enlightenment. In this devastating critique, mounted on behalf of the radical Enlightenment tradition, Vivek Chibber offers the most comprehensive response yet to postcolonial theory. Focusing on the hugely popular Subaltern Studies project, Chibber shows that its foundational arguments are based on a series of analytical and historical misapprehensions. He demonstrates that...

Locked in Place: State-Building and Late Industrialization in India
ISBN: 9780691126234 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why were some countries able to build "developmental states" in the decades after World War II while others were not? Through a richly detailed examination of India's experience, Locked in Place argues that the critical factor was the reaction of domestic capitalists to the state-building project. During the 1950s and 1960s, India launched an extremely ambitious and highly regarded program of state-led development.

Vivek Chibber s Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital was hailed on publication as without any doubt a bomb, and the most substantive effort to dismantle the field through historical reasoning published to date. It immediately unleashed one of the most important recent debates in social theory, ranging across the humanities and social sciences, on the status of postcolonial studies, modernity, and much else.

ISBN: 9781839762703 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Why is our society so unequal?

The Crisis This Time
ISBN: 9781583672280 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The global economic crisis that closed the first decade of the twenty-first century has demonstrated that the contradictions of capitalism cannot be overcome. The challenge for socialist analysis is to reveal both the nature of these contradictions in the neo-liberal era of globalized finance, and their consequences in our time. Crises need to be understood as turning points that open up opportunities. How to facilitate this is the sharpest challenge posed to socialists by the most severe global economic crisis since the 1930s. What implications does the crisis this time have in...
