“This volume’s focus on ideology as lived, as a constituent element of a bumpy field of social, affective, material and temporal relations, is brilliant and forceful. Ideology here is vital, plural, incomplete. It is a site of struggle. The remarkable range and lively style of this talented group of political thinkers can help us think against authoritarianism today.”

Kathy Ferguson, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, USA

“The Routledge Handbook on the Lived Experience of Ideology revisits ideology as an experienced, embodied, and material phenomenon. The authors challenge dualist mind-body ontologies and convincingly present ideology as woven into all social arrangements. Ideology is revealed as inherently unstable and plural, but thus open to resistance and transformation.”

Richard Janda, McGill University, Canada

“Few handbooks offer as deep, comprehensive, powerful and surprising an account of the subject matter they seek to cover. The Routledge Handbook on the Lived Experience of Ideology shows ideology to be the volatile material of collective life: messy, uneven, embodied, and plural--and with it, the book places the question of ideology at the heart of any political struggle. Calling us to question the clear divisions between self and other, between ordinary life and big structures of oppression, between freedom and imposition, the many essays of this volume think with ideology about everyday lives, big structures of domination, agency and freedom. If our political task is to find ways to inhabit and transform the everyday structures that shape us, The Routledge Handbook on the Lived Experience of Ideology should be read not just as a—fantastic—book, but as a toolkit for disobedient living.”

Hagar Kotef, SOAS, University of London, UK
