Critical Theories and the Postsocialist Challenge: Race, Gender, Decolonialization and Social Justice - Hardcover

by Miglena S. Todorova (Author)

This book challenges you to re-consider how and what you know about critical ideas related to inequality, redistribution, race, gender, violence, and justice. It takes you on a historical journey across capitalist and (former) socialist countries and societies to illustrate why these well-established Anglophonic concepts developed mainly in the United States may lack completeness and political energy when used the world over. Written in accessible language, the chapters equip you with a potent original postsocialist method for evaluating these and other critical concepts across political contexts and academic disciplines.
