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 Challenging the   misinterpretation of Marxian theory as rigid, deterministic and  outdated  it shows how the concepts used by the framework become  relevant tools  for understanding and analysing society.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