This book addresses the ideological, theoretical, and practical dilemmas of the contemporary academic and activist left from a Marxist standpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovering contemporary developments in Left thought and ideology and putting them into social and historical context, the chapters provide a theoretical confrontation with the myriad ways it has tended to accommodate itself to neoliberal ideology, rather than fundamentally opposing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between the Marxian emancipatory project and what the progressive left has made of it has never been more glaring than now, a time in which capital no longer seems to confront a political barrier. It is this predicament that The Conformist Rebellion evaluates, for a renewed approach to emancipation from capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION: THE CONFORMIST REBELLION OF THE CONTEMPORARY LEFT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART I:FROM CLASS TO COMMUNITY – Race, Gender, and Cross-Class Struggles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Todd Cronan: Antidiscrimination and the End of Marxism.
