Revisiting Gramsci’s Notebooks
Revisiting Gramsci’s Notebooks offers a rich collection of historical, philosophical, and political studies addressing the thought of Antonio Gramsci, one of the most significant intellects of the twentieth century.

Marx and Latin America
In a work centred on Marx's harsh biography of Simón Bolívar, José Aricó examines why Latin America was apparently 'excluded' from Marx's thought, challenging the allegation that this expressed some 'Eurocentric' prejudice. Aricó shows how the German thinker's hostility towards the Bonapartism and authoritarianism he identified in the Liberator coloured his attitude towards the continent and the significance of its independence-processes. Whilst criticising Marx's misreading of Latin-American realities, Aricó demonstrates contemporaneous, countervailing tendencies in Marx's thought, including his appraisal of the revolutionary potentialities of other 'peripheral' extra-European societies. As such, Aricó convincingly argues that Marx's work was not a dogma of linear 'progress', but a living, contradictory body of thought constantly in development. English translation of the Marx y América Latina edition, Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2010.
Memoirs of a Missionary

The Great Depression in Latin America
Although Latin America weathered the Great Depression better than the United States and Europe, the global economic collapse of the 1930s had a deep and lasting impact on the region. The contributors to this book examine the consequences of the Depression in terms of the role of the state, party-political competition, and the formation of working-class and other social and political movements. Going beyond economic history, they chart the repercussions and policy responses in different countries while noting common cross-regional trends--in particular, a mounting critique of economic orthodoxy and greater state intervention in the economic, social, and cultural spheres, both trends crucial t...
L'Etat, acteur du développement
Depuis 2008, la crise financière et économique mondiale a remis en avant la question de l’État : il s’agit moins de se demander si l’État a encore un rôle que d’identifier et de redéfinir ses missions et surtout les moyens dont il dispose afin d’assurer l’intérêt collectif. Trois entrées thématiques structurent l’ouvrage : l’enchevêtrement des acteurs, l’évolution des politiques publiques et les nouveaux espaces et territoires. Chaque partie illustre les formes actuelles de l’action publique, au-delà des débats sur les régimes politiques ou la bonne gouvernance. La présentation d’un ensemble de pratiques des acteurs publics vise, par leur analyse, à en ...
'Punto de Vista' and the Argentine Intellectual Left
This book is the first comprehensive account of the Argentine magazine Punto de Vista (1978–2008), a cultural review that gathered together prominent Argentine intellectuals throughout the last quarter of the twentieth century. Directed by cultural historian and public intellectual Beatriz Sarlo, the story of the magazine serves as a lens to study the evolution of Argentine intellectuals from the leftist mobilization of the 1960s through periods of military dictatorship and then the shifting politics of democratization in the 1980s and 1990s. The book argues that the way in which the Argentine intellectual left negotiated the political and cultural transformations of the late twentieth century can be understood as the history of two political defeats: that of the revolutionary utopias of the 1960s and 1970s and that of the social democrat project in the 1980s. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this book encompasses a wide range of debates taking place in Argentina, from the years prior to the dictatorship to the postdictatorship period.

Kota Para Demonstran
Studi tentang gerakan mahasiswa merupakan salah satu bagian penting dari studi gerakan sosial. Dibandingkan studi gerakan petani, buruh, nasionalisme, dan nativisme yang sering berwajah keras, maka studi gerakan mahasiswa mempunyai varian khas dan kompleks. Dinilai khas karena studi gerakan mahasiswa seringkali berwajah “oposisi” terhadap negara. Di negara mana pun mahasiswa selalu menempatkan dirinya kritis terhadap negara. Lebih dari itu, studi gerakan mahasiswa juga mengandung 3 aspek teori gerakan sosial, yaitu aspek konflik, perilaku kolektif (collective behavior), dan perubahan sosial. Makna penting dari membaca buku Makassar Kota Demonstran adalah kita membaca suatu kekuatan politik oposisi yang konsisten, radikal, dan keras terhadap negara. Dan itu adalah mahasiswa Kota Makassar. Bukan hanya mahasiswa Jakarta, Bandung, dan Yogyakarta. Asri Abdullah dan Ostaf Al Mustafa berhasil mengungkapkan dan menarasikan pentingnya mahasiswa Kota Makassar.
