Description

As we face new and debilitating catastrophes caused by capitalism and nation-state politics, Saladdin Ahmed argues that our only hope is to create space for a new world by negating the existing order. To achieve this new society, Revolutionary Hope After Nihilism outlines a practical philosophy of change that rejects ideologies of false hope and passive hopelessness. Drawing public attention to the decisiveness of the present historical moment, Ahmed introduces a critical theory of social emancipation based on post-Soviet revolutionary movements that have emerged at the margins of the global social order. The rise of socially and politically exclusionary movements in multiple parts of the world, ongoing ecological crisis, anti-Black racism, and the concretization of despair brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic demand a new approach to revolution, which Ahmed argues, must be rooted in the experiences of the most oppressed in society. Realizing the epistemological potential of emancipatory movements, Ahmed rejects dystopian nihilism and positions our focus on marginalized spaces to break out of capitalist totalitarianism. Review This is multimodal critical discourse analysis at its best. The book guides the reader clearly and carefully in how to not take textbooks at face value. It produces fascinating and striking insights into the ideas and values carried by English language teaching books which may be less obvious to the casual user. Done in a lively and accessible pedagogical style it has the potential to foster a wave of critical work which has been severely lacking in this field. This book offers a bold vision for a transformative politics that passes through the hopelessness of the present situation. Declining the liberal reformist agenda (a better world imaginable only from within the existing realm of possibilities) and the defeatist attitude (nothing can overcome global capitalism), Ahmed calls for an exit from the current state of affairs via an inventive reinvention of cosmopolitanism.―Zahi Zalloua, Cushing Eells Professor of Philosophy and Literature, Whitman College, USA About the Author Saladdin Ahmed is a critical theorist and philosopher, teaching political theory and international relations at Union College, Schenectady, USA.
