In, Against, And Beyond Capitalism: The San Francisco Lectures

Description

In, Against, and Beyond Capitalism is based on three recent lectures delivered by John Holloway at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. In addition, it includes an introductory preface by Andrej Grubacic, the Q&A after each lecture and a bibliographic essay by the author. The lectures focus on what anti-capitalist revolution can mean today - after the historic failure of the idea that the conquest of state power was the key to radical change.

John Holloway is a professor of sociology at the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades in the Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla, Mexico. He has published widely on Marxist theory, on the Zapatista movement, and on the new forms of anticapitalist struggle. He is the author of Change the World without Taking Power, which has been translated into 11 languages and has stirred an international debate, Crack Capitalism, and Zapatista!: Reinventing Revolution in Mexico. Andrej Grubacic is the chair of the Anthropology and Social Change Department at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He is the author of Don't Mourn, Balkanize: Essays after Yugoslavia; the editor of From Here to There: The Staughton Lynd Reader; and the coauthor of Wobblies and Zapatistas: Conversations on Anarchism, Marxism and Radical History. He lives in San Francisco.

"Holloway's work is infectiously optimistic." --Steven Poole, the Guardian "Holloway's thesis is indeed important and worthy of notice" --Richard J.F. Day, Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies
