description: Diverse Marxian intellectual cultures are having important effects on political struggles over the subjects of history and knowledge international law television the state democratic theories and institutions bodies sexuality masculinity environmentalism postmodernism labor the meanings of the end of the USSR children archaeology the meanings of Columbus cartography the North American economy welfare NAFTA the Gulf War higher education and the many other topics discussed by the contributors to this important volume. These essays show readers how Marxism's continuing vitality derives from its profound allegiance to diverse struggles for social justice. At this moment we need progressive imaginaries alternative to the tired and ineffectual ones that have left us with enormous challenges and compelling questions on every aspect of contemporary social relations. Here well-known thinkers are joined by important new voices in exploring fruitful directions for vision analysis and political action. This is without question the best collection of mediations so far on postorthodox Marxian tendencies in contemporary global cultures.
