About this book
Reviews
“It covers a lot of ground in 270 pages, drawing widely from contemporary Marxist theory as well as an extensive engagement with Marx’s original work. It provides a useful survey of the concept of alienation and argues for the continuing and contemporary relevance of Marxist theory and its basic categories of labour, value, the commodity, subsumption and so on. … For these reasons, this is a unique and ground-breaking monograph in the field of critical university studies.” (Joss Winn, Postdigital Science and Education, January, 2, 2019)
