Taylor & Francis Inc Revolutionary Desires
Book SynopsisRevolutionary Desires examines the lives and subjectivities of militant-nationalist and communist women in India from the late 1920s, shortly after the communist movement took root, to the 1960s, when it fractured. This close study demonstrates how India's revolutionary women shaped a new female â and in some cases feminist â political subject in the twentieth century, in collaboration and contestation with Indian nationalist, liberal-feminist, and European left-wing models of womenhood.Through a wide range of writings by, and about, revolutionary and communist women, including memoirs, autobiographies, novels, party documents, and interviews, Ania Loomba traces the experiences of these women, showing how they were constrained by, but also how they questioned, the gendered norms of Indian political culture. A collection of carefully restored photographs is dispersed throughout the book, helping to evoke the texture of these womenâs political experiences, both public Trade Review‘Revolutionary Desires looks at communists as people – involved in different struggles (not least, against their own lives and subjectivities)– in ever-shifting and complex political debates, in difficult and new orders of intimate relationships and social rebellions, and in highly creative cultural representations and self-representations. It is a marvelously rich account of the emergence of a new political subject – a fascinating and untold story that is told compellingly.’Tanika Sarkar, Retired Professor, Modern History, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India‘Ania Loomba’s insistent refusal to compartmentalize the personal and the political in this study of revolutionary and communist women in India is a signal achievement: a model for a radical historiography.’ Mrinalini Sinha, Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History, University of Michigan, USA‘Intimacy, longing, desire and revolution – the heady cocktail that Ania Loomba has produced is a feminist delight.’Nivedita Menon, Professor, Centre for Comparative Politics and Political Theory, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India‘In this inimitable feminist history of Indian women rebels and revolutionaries, Ania Loomba turns her well-trained eye on a shamefully under-written history of radical political desire in all its gendered forms. These pages are literally bursting with stories of militant and communist women who were nothing but trouble in and for modern Indian history.’Antoinette M. Burton, Catherine C. and Bruce A.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Antonio Gramsci and the Ancient World
Book SynopsisAntonio Gramsci and the Ancient World explores the relationship between the work of the Italian Marxist thinker Antonio Gramsci and the study of classical antiquity. The collection of essays engages with Greek and Roman history, literature, society, and culture, offering a range of perspectives and approaches building on Gramsci's theoretical insights, especially from his Prison Notebooks. The volume investigates both Gramsci's understanding and reception of the ancient world, including his use of ancient sources and modern historiography, and the viability of applying some of his key theoretical insights to the study of Greek and Roman history and literature. The chapters deal with the ideas of hegemony, passive revolution, Caesarism, and the role of intellectuals in society, offering a complex and diverse exploration of this intersection.With its fascinating mixture of topics, this volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of classicTrade Review"The authors and editors of this volume persuasively contend that this alertness to the challenges of conjunctural moments in world history that was a characteristic of the great Italian Marxist is equally insightful when applied to the ancient world. Connected to this innovative perspective is an equally enlightening examination of how Gramsci’s thoughts throughout his political career were affected by his own knowledge and understanding of the ancient world." -Sean Ledwith, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books"Capita più raramente, insomma, di vedere una grande casa editrice pubblicare un’opera sul mondo greco o romano in cui sia dichiarata, e coerentemente sviluppata, la “epistemologia” cui l’autore si ispira, ovverosia i fondamenti teorici in base ai quali vengono ripresi in esame determinati aspetti della cultura antica. Eppure è soltanto così, sulla base di robusti modelli di pensiero, che la ricerca e la comprensione del passato può non solo progredire, ma rendersi nuova e interessante. Colpisce dunque vedere una casa editrice importante, come Routledge, che pubblica un volume in cui le categorie (gramsciane) che animano le singole ricerche sono dichiarate e sviluppate." - Maurizio Bettini, La Repubblica [It is much rarer to see a large publisher releasing a work about the Greek and Roman world whose authors’ "epistemology" (i.e. the theoretical foundation through which certain aspects of ancient culture are observed) is declared and consistently developed. Yet it is only in this way, based on robust thought patterns, that research and understanding of the past can not only progress, but become new and interesting. It is therefore striking seeing an important publisher, such as Routledge, releasing a volume in which the (Gramscian) categories animating the specific pieces of research are declared and developed.]"[This book] gathers a miscellany of fourteen essays by scholars who share an interest in exploring possible links between the Italian thinker’s works and Classical Studies[...]presenting a variety of approaches that can be easily summarised as two main paths of analysis, which we may identify respectively as a historio-graphical and an applicational approach.Although they all start from the same methodological outlook, each essay con>centrates on a different aspect of the ancient world addressed by Gramscian works, either directly or indirectly. "-Eugenia Vitello, thersites"All in all, this volume provides an extensive introduction to Gramsci’s thought and its uses in contemporary historical research. However, I think the main strength of this volume is that it does not take Gramsci’s ideas as a static canon, but something that should be used and transformed in order to better describe society and its power structures. It invites reader to improve and engage, which is a wonderful and ambitious suggestion from any volume." - Bryn Mawr Classical ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction: The Reception of Gramsci’s Thought in Historical and Classical Studies (Emilio Zucchetti); 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Left Theory and the AltRight
Book SynopsisThe alt-right movement in the United States has actively been endorsing the use of left theory to achieve its endsand with varying degrees of success. Tracing occasions where figures on the alt-right reference left theory, this volume asks if the alt-right's reference of left theory is just bad reading, or are there troubling ways that certain types of left theory encourage such interpretations? What if the connections between left theory and the alt-right lie in the shared disdain for certain types of institutions, structures of power, and the status quo? Are there lessons to be learned in what can often appear as an overlapping desire to deconstruct concepts like truth, justice, freedom, and democracy? Drawing on the longer history of right-wing readings of left theory, this volume seeks to unpack these recent developments and consider their impact on the future of theory.Trade Review"Language has always been a site of struggle and when understood in the context of theorizing political strategies it becomes even more problematic. Di Leo and McClennen address this debate in a unique and brilliant way by asking why and how the language of the left is often successfully appropriated by the alt-right. This is a brilliant book that rethinks and reworks language and theory both in terms of misleading appropriations and a path through which language offers a more focused educational focus on culture and a commitment to making education central to politics itself."- Henry Giroux, McMaster University "Left Theory and the Alt Right is the only book that takes on the difficult analysis, from a variety of perspectives, of how the excess of leftish theory fuels the alt-right, even as the alt-right inspires the most powerful critiques to emerge from leftish theory. As such, this book is of enormous value for understanding and moving beyond the dead-ends of contemporary society, national and global."-- Daniel O’Hara, Temple University"Left Theory and the Alt Right makes a crucial intervention into one of the most surprising and dismaying intellectual developments of the present: the appropriation of left-wing theory by the alt-right. Rather than blaming academic theory or conceding aspects of it to the neo-fascist right, the essays in this volume bring theoretical expertise to bear on this phenomenon, demonstrating that the right gets theory wrong. It also demonstrates that precise and clear-eyed theorizing, as is present in this volume, is a crucial weapon in the war against the racist and class-stratified imaginary of the alt-right. The left concedes the terrain of theory only at its own peril."-Christopher Breu, Illinois State University"This book takes the bull by the horns and addresses the common trope that upon which the left and the right ultimately converge. Did Derrida bring us Trump? On one level, of course not. And yet there are echoes and sometimes direct appropriations. How do we make sense of this phenomenon? How do we not capitulate to a simplistic both-sidesism? How do we resist oppression without undoing the very tools necessary for that resistance? These are the stakes of this book. Left Theory and the Alt Right is an extremely timely book edited by two top scholars in the field with a very impressive list of contributors. It is a very important book."– Allen Miller, University of South CarolinaTable of ContentsTable of ContentsIntroduction Jeffrey R. Di Leo and Sophia A.
