The idea of the imagination is as evocative as it is elusive. Not
only does the imagination allow us to project ourselves beyond our
own immediate space and time, it also allows us to envision the
future, as individuals and as collectives. The radical imagination,
then, is that spark of difference, desire and discontent that can
be fanned into the flames of social change. Yet what precisely is
the imagination and what might make it 'radical'? How can it be
fostered and cultivated? How can it be studied and what are the
possibilities and risks of doing so? This book seeks to answer
these questions at a crucial time. As we enter into a new cycle of
struggles marked by a worldwide crisis of social reproduction,
scholar-activists Max Haiven and Alex Khasnabish explore the
processes and possibilities for cultivating the radical imagination
in dark times. A lively and crucial intervention in radical
politics, social research and social change, and the collective
visions and cultures that inspire them.
