A Political Sociology of Twenty-First Century Revolutions and Resistances
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-76150-3 (ISBN)
This book examines the possibilities – and realities – of positive, humanist change and revolution that have burst forth in the first decades of this century.
Kevin B. Anderson critically examines the revolutions, uprisings, social movements, and forms of national resistance that have arisen across the Middle East and North Africa, Sudan, South Africa, Ukraine, and France in the past 15 years, providing a salient snapshot of geopolitical and social events in a way that is both timely and in-the-moment. The book represents an effort to analyze world events, especially revolutions and radical movements, in a dialectical manner, combining contemporary analysis of the class, gender, and ethnic dimensions of these upheavals with theoretical and historical reflection that engages Hegel, Marx, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, CLR James, Raya Dunayevskaya, and other thinkers in the Marxian tradition.
A Political Sociology of Twenty-First Century Revolutions and Resistances is an important resource for researchers and current affairs opinion leaders, as well as a key text for courses in social change, political sociology, social movements, and contemporary social theory.
Kevin B. Anderson is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the author of numerous books, including Lenin, Hegel, and Western Marxism: A Critical Study (second ed., 2022), Marx at the Margins (2016), Foucault and the Iranian Revolution (with J. Afary, 2005), and the forthcoming The Late Marx's Revolutionary Roads.
