Reviews
In this astute and engaging new book Samuel Chambers shows how radical theory 'after' Marx can and must 'return' to Marx if it is to realize its critical potential. Chambers' goal is not to reject movements such as post-structuralism but to retrieve and recreate for them the concept of 'social formation' through which we can see better the shape of the present and the kinds of action that open on to what comes next. The book sets out with clarity and conviction the challenge to which a serious contemporary political theory must rise. -- Alan Finlayson, Professor of Political and Social Theory, University of East Anglia
