Description: Gabriel Rockhill examines the widespread understanding that we are living in an era of globalization that is bound by economic and technological networks and an unquestionable faith in democracy, replacing it with a counter-history that accounts for the diversity of lived experience and offers new ways to imagine the future.
Review Quotes: "A high level polemic attacking the current enthusiasm for the notion of globalization--which Gabriel Rockhill regards as a feature of the political imaginary of our time--Counter-History of the Present will be discussed alongside work by Jameson, Harvey, and Lyotard."--Andrew Feenberg, author of "The Philosophy of Praxis: Marx, Lukacs, and the Frankfurt School "
