We Are The Crisis Of Capital: A John Holloway Reader

Description

We Are the Crisis of Capital collects articles and excerpts written by radical academic, theorist, and activist John Holloway over a period of 40 years. Different times, different places, and the same anguish persists throughout our societies. This collection asks, 'Is there a way out?' How do we break capital, a form of social organisation that dehumanises us and threatens to annihilate us completely? How do we create a world based on the mutual recognition of human dignity? Holloway's work answers these questions and more.

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. His book Change the World without Taking Power has been translated into eleven languages and has stirred an international debate. His recent book, Crack Capitalism, takes the argument further by suggesting that the only way in which we can think of revolution today is as the creation, expansion, multiplication and confluence of cracks in capitalist domination.

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