FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Fugitive Politics explores the intersection between politics and ecology, between the requirements for radical change and the unprecedented challenges posed by the global crisis, a dialectic has rarely been addressed in academia.Across eight chapters, Carl Boggs explores how systemic change may be achieved within the current system, while detailing attempts at achieving change within nation-states. Boggs states that any notion of revolution seems fanciful in the current climate, contending that controlling elites have concentrated their hold on corporate power along three self-serving fronts: technology (Big Tech) and the surveillance order, militarism and the warfare state, and intensification of globalized power. Combined with this Boggs cites the fundamental absence of revolutionary counter-forces, arguing that after decades of subservice relevant, allied to the rise of identity politics and social movements, the Marxist theoretical legacy is now exhausted and will not provide an exit from the crisis. Boggs concludes that the only possibility for fundamental change will come from an open style of politics, in the Jacobin tradition, operating within the overall structures of the current democratic state.Written for both an academic and a general readership, in the U.S. and beyond, Fugitive Politics will be of vital importance to those studying political theory, political philosophy, political history, Marxism and Marxist theory, authoritarian politics, ecology, environmental politics, and climate politics.

The Road to Ecosocialism? Postscript - Sheldon Wolin: A Tribute Review "In Fugitive Politics, Boggs returns to his days as a campus radical, yolking together two influential yet seemingly disparate narratives in order to fashion a fugitive politics repurposed to challenge the misplaced ontological confidence of much of todays academic left. In so doing he proves that todays algorithmic understanding of politics often serves as an ontological block to capturing the analogue experience of political repression that Boggs and his contemporaries lived on a daily basis. Blending the prehensive nature of political activism with his pathfinding theoretical work on Gramsci, Lenin, and Marx, and his prescient forays into ecosocialism, Boggs creates new zones of contestation, sites of scholarly outlawry, enclaves of political insurgency and fugitive deploys that are equipped to challenge the arc of historical struggle that could not be anticipated by the political sages of yesteryear. This book is vintage Boggs, fearless and forward-looking, at the cutting edge of the political discourse of the day, a beacon of light in these dark times."Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies, Chapman University, USA Details ISBN103205414X Author Carl Boggs Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 103205414X ISBN-13 9781032054148 Format Paperback Pages 158 Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Publication Date 2021-11-11 Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2021-11-11 NZ Release Date 2021-11-11 UK Release Date 2021-11-11 Subtitle The Struggle for Ecological Sanity Alternative 9781032054162 DEWEY 304.2 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education Imprint Routledge We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
