Beskrivning

This major reassessment of the relevance of Marxism in the social sciences decisively rebuts claims that it has been consigned to the dustbin of history by the collapse of communism and apparent triumph of capitalism and liberal democracy. The book first considers how Marxism has engaged with various critiques including Postmodernism, New Right theory and Feminism before assessing its continuing utility as a framework for analysis of a range of substantive issues from class and the state to culture, ecology and globalization.

'[A] lucid survey of the two-way traffic of ideas between Marxism and alternative theories [and] an accessible, critical introduction to each of the themes...consistently high quality of writing and argumentation...[A] touchstone in the debate over the continuing relevance of this tradition in social science after the collapse of historical communism.' - Alejandro Colas, Millennium 'A well presented and well written text that covers many of the most relevant areas of contemporary discussion.' - Bob Millward, University of Central Lancashire 'Marxism and Social Science is to be welcomed as a counter to the near conventional wisdom that Marxism is moribund.' - Paul Wetherly, Contemporary Politics
