commented on Marx and the Earth by John Bellamy Foster

John Bellamy Foster, Paul Burkett: Marx and the Earth (Paperback, 2017, Haymarket Books) No rating

Over a decade ago Foster and Burkett introduced a revolutionary understanding of the ecological foundations …

Not a review as such, but more an observation that I apparently didn't fully take on board what an 'anti-critique' would be when I ordered this. The introduction is actually really good, tracing the development of ecosocialist thought and offering a form of typology of ecosocialisms. The remainder of the book, though, is really edited together articles written by Foster and Burkett, critiquing criticisms of Marx and Engels for being insufficiently ecologically-minded, which really starts to drag after a while.

Helen Davis: Understanding Stuart Hall (Paperback, 2004, SAGE Publications)

Understanding Stuart Hall traces the development of one of the most influential and respected figures …

Excellent primer

Clear and comprehensive primer on the work of Stuart Hall. Covers the span of his career, including his brief editorship of NLR, the creation of CCCS at Birmingham, his move to the OU, and, of most interest to me, his time with Marxism Today and the engagement with the phenomenon of Thatcherism. Should be a great starting point for more Hall reading :)
