ITEM OVERVIEW
In 1978, at the invitation of Louis Althusser, Negri presented a series of seminars on Marx's Grundrisse in Paris. This is a book of those seminars, translated and introduced by Harry Cleaver, Michael Ryan, and Maurizio Viano. Negri, then a leading figure of the Italian Autonomia (and now of course, even more famous!) was in France as a consequence of charges relating to revolutionary action brought against him by the Italian State. "Marx Beyond Marx aims toward a reconstruction of Marxist theory, a reconstruction that goes beyond Marx by going back to Marx, an angry Marxism summoned by the real possibility of communism....In setting the agenda for such a reconstruction, and in clarifying its priorities, Marx Beyond Marx is a path-breaking and indispensable work." —Capital & Class
