Beschreibung

"The savvy success of 'postmodernism, ' that cynical sign of the fin de siecle, has prevented us from re-imagining the present and mapping the future. "Millennial Capitalism and the Culture of Neoliberalism "steps into the breach and opens up a new chapter in our understanding of a world of contradictory forces and ambivalent affiliations. When the rapid expansion of free markets sends sovereign states into free fall, and the value of citizenship is measured in the currency of consumption, the time is ripe for a radical rethinking of political passion in the public interest. In a fine double act the Comaroffs, and their gifted contributors, provide us with brilliant ethnographic and ethical accounts of a world-system whose emergent structures are both older and newer than the globalizing jargon of our times."--Homi K. Bhabha, University of Chicago
