Freedom not Yet by Kenneth Surin
Analyzes the nature of global economic system, particularly with regard to the plight of less-developed countries, and shows the possibilities of creating political subjects necessary to establish and sustain a liberated world.
“Surin's book is an interesting contribution to ongoing debates about what it means to be a Marxist in the 21st century, and it deserves to be engaged with by a wide audience” - Dan Swain, Socialist Review
“. . . [O]ne of the most elucidating and important books on globalization in recent years. . . . Freedom Not Yet contributes to postcolonial thought in the most essential way, offering a truly global perspective of what global capitalism is doing, as well as a rigorous theorization of the attempts to move beyond its obvious rapaciousness.” - Jini Kim Watson, Interventions
“Freedom Not Yet makes a very significant contribution indeed. It blends a compelling critique of political liberalism and neo-liberal economics with an original defence of Marxism’s project of liberation in terms of singularity. . . . Surin’s Marxist ontology of liberation fuses a sophisticated critique of capitalism with a robust philosophical alternative that in its present configuration remains a partial theology.” - Adrian Pabst, Modern Theology
“Freedom Not Yet is a stunning, mature, and major work. It provides a unique combination of strong empirical research and significant theoretical sophistication. Kenneth Surin is after a workable model for revolution within the broad frame of the Marxist tradition, and he provides significant engagements with approaches including identity, subjectivity (Derrida), event (Badiou), nomadology (Deleuze and Guattari), and transcendence (Radical Orthodoxy), cutting through each with a sure hand. This book will be at the center of discussions for a long time to come.”—Roland Boer, author of Political Myth: On the Use and Abuse of Biblical Themes
