Class, Sex and Revolutions: Göran Therborn - a critical appraisal
2016 (English)Collection (editor) (Other academic)
Abstract [en]
This book is a critical appraisal of the themes Göran Therborn has pursued up till now, and is introduced by Robin Blackburn, for almost twenty years his editor at New Left Review.
In between Science, Class and Society (1976) and The Killing Fields of Inequality (2011) Göran has consistently challenged received wisdom in politics and the social sciences. Sex and Power is the current global map of gender equality and kinship/the family. With the 1968 article “From Petrograd to Saigon” he laid the foundation for his worldwide reputation as an innovative public intellectual. His critique of the Frankfurt School had repercussions around Europe. Today his work is spread on six continents, Central and Latin America in particular, and has been translated into more than twenty languages.
