English translation by Steven Colatrella with George De Stefano published by Monthly Review Press 2024 by Monthly Review Press.  aIncludes bibliographical references and index.  a"Western Marxism: How It Was Born, How It Died, How It Can Be Reborn is a paradigm-shifting book that provides a trenchant critique of the Western left intelligentsia. It reveals how its dominant ideological orientation-characterized by defeatism, utopianism, and anti-communism-is rooted in the political economy of imperialism. Internationally acclaimed theorist Domenico Losurdo thus provides a fresh and challenging perspective on purportedly radical thinkers who have been widely promoted in the imperial core, including those affiliated with the Frankfurt School, French Theory, and operaismo, as well as Hannah Arendt, Giorgio Agamben, Michael Hardt, and Slavoj Žižek, among others. His critique also has wide-reaching implications for trend-setting discourses inspired by this coterie of intellectuals, from postcolonial and decolonial theory to subaltern studies and beyond. Far from being a negative undertaking, however, this book is grounded in the positive project of reigniting anti-imperialist Marxism"--cProvided by publisher. 0aCommunismxHistoryy20th century. 0aCommunismzWestern countries. 4aComunismo xHistoria ySiglo XX  4aComunismo1 aRockhill, Gabriel, d1972- eeditor 1 aColatrella, Steven etranslator1 aStefano, George de etranslator
