Description: Global in scope, but refusing a familiar totalizing theoretical framework, the essays in The Politics of Culture in the Shadow of Capital demonstrate how localized and resistant social practices - including anticolonial and feminist struggles, peasant revolts, labor organizing, and various cultural movements - challenge contemporary capitalism as a highly differentiated mode of production.
