An American Utopia: Dual Power and the Universal Army

Controversial manifesto by acclaimed cultural theorist debated by leading writers

Fredric Jamesonâ€™s pathbreaking essay â€œAn American Utopiaâ€ radically questions standard leftist notions of what constitutes an emancipated society. Advocated here areâ€”among other thingsâ€”universal conscription, the full acknowledgment of envy and resentment as a fundamental challenge to any communist society, and the acceptance that the division between work and leisure cannot be overcome. To create a new world, we must first change the way we envision the world. Jamesonâ€™s text is ideally placed to trigger a debate on the alternatives to global capitalism. In addition to Jamesonâ€™s essay, the volume includes responses from philosophers and political and cultural analysts, as well as an epilogue from Jameson himself.

Many will be appalled at what they will encounter in these pagesâ€”there will be blood! But perhaps one has to spill such (ideological) blood to give the Left a chance.

Contributing are Kim Stanley Robinson, Jodi Dean, Saroj Giri, Agon Hamza, Kojin Karatani, Frank Ruda, Alberto Toscano, Kathi Weeks, and Slavoj ÂŽiÂžek.
