About this book
Reviews
“Rodriguez adds to this literature by exploring how renewed critiques of capitalism, informed by Marxist thought and produced by social movements, advance our understanding of social conflict and emancipatory politics. The main contribution of Rodriguez’s book is his effort to bring neo-Marxist thinking to the analysis of contemporary social movements.” (Hector Rios-Jara, Contemporary Political Theory, Vol. 20 (3), September, 2021)
“This ambitious book is a welcome contribution to a sociology of social movements grounded in a reflexive dialogue between critical theory, social movement studies and empirical enquiry … . it is promising that there are clear signs that researchers are returning to a much-needed sociology of social movements emerging from a reflexive dialogue between critical theories, social movement studies and empirical enquiry.” (Malik Fercovic, LSE Review of Books, April 22, 2020)
“This is an impressive and engaging book, combining systematic reflection on the very idea of social critique with a well-grounded presentation of Chilean social movements that embody critique in practice. Juan Pablo Rodriguez's orchestration of key analytical perspectives represents a strong contribution to neo-Marxist theory in its own right; but real radical campaigns are then allowed to speak back in their own voice.” (Gregor McLennan, Professor of Sociology, University of Bristol, UK)Authors and Affiliations
