Featuring analysis from below as well as above, from the inside as well as the outside, \u003ci\u003eCrisis Under Critique\u003c\/i\u003e is a singular intervention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeither crisis nor critique can be treated wholly theoretically, abstracted from particular political and economic conditions. The approach of this book, with its highly structured, formal-intellectual organization and its insistent attention to grounded material experience, is thus admirably suited to its aims. There is constant attention to both the theoretical and the empirical. That rich specificity makes each chapter a pleasure to read, for it enables each author to capture the immediacy of crisis and the purpose that animates critique. -- Anne Norton, author of \u003ci\u003eLeo Strauss and the Politics of American Empire\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich in originality, this collection revisits the classic tropes of critique and crisis, but reorients our relationship to them. In taking the apprehension of crisis and the generation of critique as a topic to be explored, it opens up valuable new horizons of inquiry. -- David Owen, author of \u003ci\u003eWhat Do We Owe to Refugees?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Heuristic of Crises: Reclaiming Critical Voices, by Didier Fassin and Axel Honneth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I.
