Subject: [OA-monographs] new OHP release: Capital at the Brink
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2014 10:49:09 +1100
Hi all,
A new open access collection, Capital at the Brink, is now available, with essays by Paul A. Passavant, Noah De Lissovoy, Robert P. Marzec,
Jennifer Wingard, Zahi Zalloua, Jodi Dean, Andrew Baerg, Jeffrey R. Di
Leo, Christopher Breu and Uppinder Mehan.
Capital at the Brink reveals the pervasiveness, destructiveness, and
dominance of neoliberalism within American society and culture. The
contributors to this collection also offer points of resistance to an
ideology wherein, to borrow Henry Giroux’s comment, “everything either
is for sale or is plundered for profit.” The first step in fighting
neoliberalism is to make it visible. By discussing various inroads that
it has made into political, popular, and literary culture, Capital at
the Brink is taking this first step and joining a global resistance that
works against neoliberalism by revealing the variety of ways in which
it dominates and destroys various dimensions of our social and cultural
life.
