summary
Throughout his career Stuart Hall engaged with Marxism in varying ways, actively rethinking it to address the political and cultural exigencies of the moment. This collection of Hall s key writings on Marxism surveys the questions central to his interpretations of and investments in Marxist theory and practice. It includes Hall s readings of canonical texts by Marx and Engels, Gramsci, and Althusser; his exchanges with other prominent thinkers about Marxism; his use of Marxist frameworks to theorize specific cultural phenomena and discourses; and some of his later work in which he distanced himself from his earlier attachments to Marxism. In addition, editor Gregor McLennan s introduction and commentary offer in-depth context and fresh interpretations of Hall s thought.
