Description

Interrogating the Future is a festschrift celebrating the work of David Fasenfest.


Fasenfest has conducted research spanning contexts from Detroit to Shanghai, and he is the long-standing editor of a social science journal and its related book series. In keeping with the editorial policy and ideas pursued by the honorand, the contributions emphasize the continuing need on the part of sociology to adopt a radically critical investigative approach to the central issues of political economy. These essays discuss themes ranging from globalization, employment, migration, social justice, inequality, race/class, and urban poverty to Marxist theory, democracy, capitalism, neoliberalism, and socialism.


Contributors include: Hideo Aoki, Tom Brass, Michael Burawoy, Rodney D. Coates, Kevin R. Cox, Raju J. Das, Ricardo A. Dello Buono, Mahito Hayashi, Lauren Langman, Robert Latham, Ngai Pun and Alfredo Saad-Filho.
