A review by boithorn
Crowds and Party by Jodi Dean

3.0

Dean builds off of the foundation of her previous book, The Communist Horizon, to make the case for why the Left needs to focus on party-building. I agreed with the conclusions of this book, but not the method. This book gets more into the philosophical weeds of how "the individual" and crowds are constructed and supported, but the latter practical half of the book isn't fleshed out as much as it could have been (unlike The Communist Horizon, which had a strong philosophical foundation backing her timely prescriptions for organizers).
