We should all be grateful to the editors for selecting and contextualizing so rich a body of materials." -- Kwame Anthony Appiah, New York University "This excellent collection of essays situates the questions of the oppressed and colonized against and within traditional mainstream political thought. Bringing the diverse contributions of feminism and other liberation struggles to the forefront, it offers a new approach to the teaching and study of social and political theory. Carefully edited readings are augmented with accessible introductions that trace the historical developments of political ideologies. Spanning traditions and ideological divides, The Broadview Anthology of Social and Political Thought is wonderfully adaptable to a variety of courses in political theory or history of political thought at virtually every level of higher education." -- Sally J. Scholz, Villanova University "This anthology offers an invaluable, wide-ranging, and inclusive overview of recent political thought organized around central questions and themes in political theory throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. A detailed introduction to each section and each author provides a rich historical background to theories and theorists. Courses that utilize this volume will have abundant resources from which to familiarize students with the complexity and diversity of political thought from the past hundred plus years." -- Colleen Murphy, Texas A&M University "This authoritative, comprehensive and highly accessible anthology manages to bring together key texts of some of the most important political theorists of our age. The selections have not only been chosen with a keen eye for excellence, but are preceded by very helpful introductory essays. It should prove an invaluable guide for students and scholars alike." -- R.B.J. Tinnevelt, Radboud University Nijmegen "An outstanding collection of readings drawn from classical and contemporary political thought. The immensely helpful introductions to each of the three central parts will greatly assist students in understanding the context and significance of each figure's work." -- Gillian Brock, University of Auckland "This volume is a very bold collaborative effort which deserves rich praise for its meticulous attempt to encompass such a broad swathe of mainly twentieth-century political thought readings in a manageable compass. ... [The anthology's] aim to move beyond the more standard ideas of post-1970s rights-based philosophical liberalism into a wide range of readings concerned with power, the state, gender, race, and so forth, is also to be fulsomely welcomed. The volume provides a much more detailed and historically accurate picture of political thought in this period than one encounters in many other synoptic volumes. Overall the editors are to be congratulated for having put together this volume in such a scholarly and thoughtful manner, and for having provided full and helpful introductions for a student readership. It should be of great utility for courses in political thought." -- Andrew Vincent, Sheffield University
