The Left Academy

Approaching the humanities from a Marxist perspective raises new questions that demand new answers. In this second volume of The Left Academy. Seven eminent scholars address the impact of Marxist analysis on the humanities. They provide readers with an overview of the main social, political, and intellectual influences on their disciplines and they outline ongoing debates within Marxist circles and between Marxists and their opponents. Each paper in the collection concludes with a lengthy bibliography of books, articles, and journals written from a Marxist perspective. These up-to-date listings constitute an invaluable reference guide to contemporary Marxist scholarship in the United States.
