Klappentext zu „Contemporary Political Movements and the Thought of Jacques Ranciere “
Todd May takes an intensive look at contemporary political movements and shows how, to one degree or another, they exemplify the political thought of Jacques Ranci?re. In an easy and clear style, May provides an overview of Ranci?re's thought and relates it to Montreal's Algerian refugee movement for citizenship; the first Palestinian intifada; the politics of equality; the identity politics of the Zapatista movement; a local food coop in South Carolina; and an anarchist press in Oakland. Essentially, May shows how political theory and practice can continue to enlighten in an age of cynicism and fear.

Rezension zu „Contemporary Political Movements and the Thought of Jacques Ranciere “
This is a timely, accessible and inspiring study of democracy in action. As a critic and as an activist Todd May has always insisted on the unity of theory and practice, but with this pathbreaking new book he has taken a crucial and unprecedented step both in the interpretation of Ranciere's philosophy and in the analysis of contemporary egalitarian projects. -- Peter Hallward, Kingston University This is a timely, accessible and inspiring study of democracy in action.
