Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
Review from previous edition 'The New Imperialism' merits the widest possible public. David Harvey is a social theorist known for a cool, analytical style born of interdisciplinary inquiry, coupled with a keen feeling for political significance. This book showcases his talent.' * The Boston Phoenix * 'Harvey makes an important theoretical contribution to understanding contemporary empire's vicissitudes.' * The Times Higher Education Supplement * 'This book is beautifully crafted, its prose accessible, its narrative one of mounting intensity and urgency. 'The New Imperialism' mounts a stunning indictment of our present institutions of power, while offering hopeful insights about how these institutions could be changed.' * Richard Sennett, Professor of Sociology, London School of Economics * 'Navigating effortlessly between history, economics, geography and politics, with persuasive argument and lucid prose, David Harvey places today's headlines in context and makes sense of the early twenty-first century maelstrom we're all caught up in. His concept of accumulation by dispossession will go far. 'The New Imperialism' is a truly useful book.' * Susan George, Associate Director, The Transnational Institute, Amsterdam * Read more...
