Wendy Brown is one of the most prolific and influential political
theorists of her generation. This collection of essays, designed
for the undergraduate classroom, presents an introduction to and
critical assessment of Brown's substantial body of work, with a
particular focus on her contributions to the tradition of critical
theory. Coeditors Amy Allen and Eduardo Mendieta provide an
overview of Brown's work, situating her scholarship in relation to
some of the major thinkers and methodologies of the Frankfurt
School. Brown opens the discussion with a new essay expounding upon
the meaning of freedom and the prospects for emancipation in our
current political moment. Subsequent chapters address different
aspects of Brown's corpus, including her early feminist
interpretation of the history of political theory, her influential
critiques of identity politics and progressive philosophies of
history, and her recent interrogation of the rise of neoliberalism
and the resurgence of authoritarian politics. The volume concludes
with Brown's response to her critics, where she clarifies and
expands upon the implications of her core ideas. In addition to
Brown and the editors, the contributors to this volume include
Robin Celikates, Loren Goldman, Asad Haider, Robyn Marasco, and
Johanna Oksala.
