POLI 142 SC - Marxist and Post-Marxist Political Thought


In American public discourse, news media, and academic institutions, political discussion is almost always circumscribed by the limits of liberal ideology. The language of political liberalism is so ubiquitous that many students will be unaware of how their own moral sensibilities and political intuitions are products of liberal thought. In contrast, this course draws upon Marxist, post-modern, and post-colonial theory to explore radical perspectives on politics, economics, culture, and power. A basic familiarity with liberal political philosophy, while helpful, is not required.
