In this broad-ranging text, Ray assesses Critical Theory,
particularly that of J um]urgen Habermas. Developing an analysis of
such ideas as the public sphere, communicative action and the
colonization of the lifeworld, he examines the insights that
Critical Theory can offer global analysis and the challenges to
Critical Theory from global social change.
In a detailed discussion of post-communist eastern Europe,
Islamic revivalism in Iran and the liberation struggle in South
Africa, the author argues that modernity is poised between the
threat of authoritarian politics of identity on one hand and the
promise of opening up new democratic communicative organizations on
the other.
