Specters of Marx
‘One of Derrida’s best books … More explicitly than before, he has taken politics and history as his themes.’
New Statesman
‘Always a man of the left, [Derrida] felt able to write this book only when Soviet communism had collapsed, as his espousal of Marx was then, he said, less likely to be misunderstood.’
The Guardian
‘Derrida presents a provocative and … insightful interpretation of Marx. Derrida shows convincingly that Marx is haunted by history and that he wants to put it to an end.’
RRPE
‘… Derrida is considered a classic of the postmodern canon.’
New York Review of Books
‘… its importance within the Derridean canon cannot be overemphasized … the text that scholars turn to … to understand the politics of deconstruction.’
Southern Humanities Review
