Simon Choat is Senior Lecturer in Politics at Kingston University, London, UK.

"Written with clarity, wit and elegance, Marx through Poststructuralism takes us on an analytically robust journey through poststructuralism's encounters with Marx. Choat comes to the perhaps surprising, but wonderfully productive, conclusion that that they all share the ambition of a genuinely materialist philosophy. This allows him to offer readers the gift of a practical, engaged Marxism after poststructuralism: as a renewed critical theory of the present. Anyone still puzzled by the often elusive relationship between Marx and his poststructuralist critics will benefit enormously from reading this accessible yet sophisticated book." - Diana Coole, Professor of Political and Social Theory, Birkbeck University of London, UK
