Crowds and Party by Jodi Dean

4.0

Jodi Dean does amazing work stressing the importance of pragmatic political activism, while criticizing horizontalist objections towards building political power on the Left. Her engagement with Lacan is an interesting turn in social psychology and the chapter unpacking the individual as an idea productive to capitalism is also incredibly enlightening. She continues to astound me and she's always prescient, especially in a time when building power is the number one question on everyone's mind. Thank you Jodi Dean.
