Critical Theory from the Margins
2023
Overview
Great critical theorists from Marx and Engels to Adorno and
Horkheimer not only came from the margins but also stayed faithful
to the plight of the marginalized. They refused to compromise about
the struggle for equality and tried to universalize its
emancipatory essence. From Marx to Benjamin, critical philosophers
who showed fidelity to the cause were denied a career in European
universities and made impoverished, stateless, and homeless.
Marginalization and critical theory are inseparable; yet, today,
Marxism is institutionalized, and the Frankfurt School's Critical
Theory is gentrified. Critical Theory from the Margins ,
however, revives the Critical Theory that endorses criticism,
aiming to negate dominant regimes of truth. It is unapologetic in
its fidelity to the universalist struggles of the minoritized. In
that spirit, Saladdin Ahmed shows that capitalism imposes a
totalitarian social mode of existence and neoliberalism perpetuates
fascism as a class of ideology across nationalist and religious
movements. This book, then, is both a theorization and an argument
in favor of the application of the episteme of the silenced as the
essence of the critical education necessary for achieving universal
emancipation.
