9780822328735. Pre-owned: Good condition. Trade paperback. Language: English. Pages: 440. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 440 p. Contains: Illustrations. Positions Book. Displaying the particular vitality of the global traditions of Marxism and neomarxism at the beginning of the twenty-first century, New AsianMarxisms collects essays by a diverse group of scholars-historians, political scientists, literary scholars, and sociologists-who offer a range of studies of the Marxist heritage focusing on Korea, Japan, India, and China.While some of these essays take up key thinkers in Marxist history or draw attention to outstanding problematics, others focus on national literature and discourse in North and South Korea, the "Mao Zedong Fever" of the 1990s, the implications of Li Dazhao's poetry, and the Indian Naxalite movement. Illustrating the importance of central analytical categories like exploitation, alienation, and violence to studies on the politics of knowledge, contributors confront prevailing global consumerist fantasies with accounts of political struggle, cultural displacement, and theoretical strategies.
