Description
Book Synopsisn Many people across the world know Antonio Negri as an internationally renowned political thinker whose book, Empire, co-authored with Michael Hardt, is an international bestseller. Much less well known is the fact that, up until 1979, Negri was a university professor teaching in Paris and Padova.
Trade Review"At once a narration of philosophy, politics and personal memoir. The experience of the oppressed political prisoner divests the courts of their own web of rationality, exposing the system which upholds the semblance of justice."
Irish Left Review "No one who seeks to comment on global capitalism or the movements opposing it can afford to ignore Negri. He remains one of Europe's few truly public intellectuals."
Katharine Ainger, The New Statesman (The New Statesman list of 12 great thinkers of our time)
"A guru of the post-modern left."
Slavoj Zizek
"One of the most important thinkers of our time."
Fredric Jameson
