About the Book

Written by both well-established and rising scholars, "Radical Future Pasts" seeks to open up new possibilities for theoretical inquiries and engagements with practical political struggles. Unlike conventional "state of the discipline" collections, this volume does not summarize the history of political theory. Rather than accept traditional ideas about the political past, the contributors reinterpret canonical and current texts to demonstrate fresh interpretations and narratives. Led by editors Romand Coles, Mark Reinhardt, and George Shulman, and inspired by the work of Peter Euben, the contributors both explore and exemplify the range and importance of political theory's different genres while concentrating on such themes as time and temporality, the politics of tragedy, and political movements and subjectivities. A groundbreaking volume featuring the best new scholarship in the field, this provocative book will be useful to scholars and students interested in political theory and its relationship to political practice.

Review :
" "Radical Future Pasts" engages a tremendous range of topics, bringing together the work of some of the best contemporary political theorists around. By examining issues of temporality, narrative, and circulation, this book highlights both the driving ideals and the quotidian realities of politics. It will be of great interest not only to American political philosophers but those from (and concerned with) the rest of the world." -- "Kennan Ferguson, author of "All in the Family: On Community and Incommensurability"" "An exciting collection that is bound to make an important impact on the field. "Radical Future Pasts" has a tremendous amount to offer readers as a set of interrelated reflections on varied aesthetic, temporal, affective and cultural coordinates for practices of political theory." -- Paul Apostolidis, Whitman College, author of "Breaks in the Chain: What Immigrant Workers Can Teach America about Democracy" "Radical Future Pasts engages a tremendous range of topics, bringing together the work of some of the best contemporary political theorists around. By examining issues of temporality, narrative, and circulation, this book highlights both the driving ideals and the quotidian realities of politics. It will be of great interest not only to American political philosophers but those from (and concerned with) the rest of the world." -- Kennan Ferguson, author of All in the Family: On Community and Incommensurability
