About the Book: Contemporary Readings in Marxism: A Critical Introduction
This volume straddles between being a compilation of chapters exploring the
fundamental conceptual categories within Marxism while engaging with those
categories at the same time demonstrating the dynamic ability of the Marxian
theoretical paradigm to evolve. Challenging the misinterpretation of Marxian
theory as rigid, deterministic and outdated it shows how the concepts used by
the framework become relevant tools for understanding and analysing society.
Divided across two parts the volume grounds the Marxian concepts in a concrete
historico-material context of India. It will be an important source for any
student interested in social theory in general and Marxism
