The Critical Companion to Contemporary Marxism is an international and 
interdisciplinary volume which aims to provide a thorough and precise 
panorama of recent developments in Marxist theory in the US, Europe, 
Asia and beyond. Drawing on the work of thirty of the most 
authoritative scholars, the Companion spans all the humanities and 
social sciences, with particular emphasis on philosophy. The work is 
divided into three parts: 'General Trends', which provides a broad 
intellectual and historical context; 'Currents', which tracks the 
trajectories of twenty specific currents or disciplinary fields; and 
'Figures', which examines in detail the work of fifteen key actors of 
Marxist or para-Marxist theory (Adorno, Althusser, Badiou, Benjamin, 
Bhaskar, Bourdieu, Deleuze, Derrida, Foucault, Gramsci, Habermas, 
Jameson, Lefebvre, Uno, Williams). The Companion is set to be 
unsurpassed for many years, in breadth and depth, as the definitive 
guide to contemporary Marxism.
