Rezensionen

"Delve into this fat volume written and edited by outstanding scholars and I promise that you will find at least one contribution that makes you change your mind or admit "I wish I'd written that"; one you don't actually understand or has you looking up the author; perhaps even one that makes you want to throw the book across the room. Don't. It's full of original thinking and new takes on a changing, elastic, often scary world and how we try to understand it." -- Susan George, PhD, President of the Transnational Institute

"In his Prison Notebooks, Antonio Gramsci regarded annual almanacs, as well as yearbooks, as crucial in disseminating an integral conception of the world as

they dealt with fundamental issues in an organic manner. In his day, it was the role of the state, international politics, and the agrarian question. In our day with this stunning handbook as a collection, it is decoloniality, ecology, race, feminism and alternative forms of subalternity in contesting the relations of force of global capitalism. The volume will take you on a mind-stretching voyage you do not want to miss. Highly recommended" -- Adam David Morton, Professor in the Department of Political Economy, University of Sydney

"This exciting new addition to the growing body of literature on the transdisciplinary field of Global Studies takes at its framework the current 'global interregnum' between the fall of neoliberal market globalism and the possible rise of progressive alternatives. Erudite and wide-ranging in its topics, this comprehensive volume combines insightful assessments of the deepening global crises of our time with the innovative construction of counter-hegemonic strategies for a variety of emancipatory struggles in both global and local arenas." -- Manfred B. Steger, Professor of Sociology, University of Hawai'i at Manoa and Global Professorial Fellow, Western Sydney University

"We live through a violent transformation of economy and society, as billionaires try to turn our bodies and minds into the latest colony to be mined for "data". But this handbook is a guide to shaping a future beyond the violence of colonialism, slavery, and witch hunts. Through its various theoretical lenses, we can begin to imagine a common future rooted in our diversities." -- Vanda Shiva, Ph.D., Founder of Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecology in Dehra Dun

"This impressive handbook sheds light on a period of globalization characterized by far-reaching transformations of capitalism and society. It fascinates by bridging the gap between ecology, economy, and politics; profound theoretical approaches help us understand the present interregnum; innovative empirical research and alternative visions let us imagine future ways of life." -- Brigitte Aulenbacher, Head, Theory of Society and Social Analyses, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria
