Summary:

As we approach the second decade of the twenty-first century with the continued growth of new social movements across the globe, the answer to the question 'How is Marxism still relevant?' changes year on year. In this provocative and critically engaged introduction, Ronaldo Munck interrogates Marx's theories in the context of global development; nation and culture; the environmental crisis; austerity, cuts and the rise of the precariat; and feminism and queer theory - with a shared focus on the global South and North. Essential reading for students with an interest in alternative thinking, and the global action it inspires. Book jacket.
