Customer Reviews

Bravo Jameson!

Aside from "Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism," this is my favorite book of Jameson's. In this eloquent and at times difficult book, Jameson goes further into his analysis of postmodern culture. What I like most about this book is his detailed discussion of architecture and built space in postmodernity. He also says something about the importance of utopian politics for him. All in all, this book is short and very well written. A must read for anyone interested in Western Marxism, cultural theory, and/or postmodernism.
