Summary

Poststructuralist Marxism, or post-Marxism is a theoretical view-point that elaborates and revises the work of Louis Althusser and Michel Foucault. Unlike traditional Marxism, which emphasizes the priority of class struggle and the common humanity of oppressed groups, post-Marxism reveals the sexual, racial, class, and ethnic divisions of modern Western society. This book surveys the different versions of post-Marxist theory: the economic theory of Stephen Resnick and Richard Wolff, the historical methodology of Michel Foucault, the political theory of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, the feminism of Judith Butler, the materialist philosophy of Pierre Macherey, and the cultural studies of Tony Bennett and John Frow, Providing a coherent framework for these otherwise quite divergent theorists. Philip Goldstein outlines the history of Marxist philosophical or theoretical views and explains how they all count as post-Marxist.
