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 Challenging the  misinterpretation of Marxian theory as rigid, deterministic and outdated  it shows how the concepts used by the framework become relevant tools  for understanding and analysing society.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 in particular.
