About the Book

Postmarxism’s broad project since its beginning has been about rescuing Marxism from the global collapse of Marxist praxis by re-thinking the fundamentalism and determinism that marked classical Marxist theory but that no longer represents Western politico-social reality. The Sociology of Postmarxism is located within the broad corpus of work that has applied a sociological reading to theoretical and empirical categories. Its specific aim, within this literature, is to develop a ‘reflexive sociology’ that is informed by, and informs politics. The political theory of ‘postmarxism’ and ‘social capital’ theory will be crucial mediators in this development.
