Mahdi Amel (1936-87) was a prominent Arab Marxist thinker and
Lebanese Communist Party member. For the first time in English,
this collection makes available lengthy excerpts from six major
works by Mahdi Amel. These include the two founding texts on
colonialism and underdevelopment in which Amel began to grapple
with the question of dependency, his treatise on sectarianism and
the state, his critique of Edward Said's analysis of Marx, his
exposure of emerging Islamised bourgeois trends of thought as part
of a broader critique of everyday thought, and his reflection on
cultural heritage as perceived by Arab bourgeoisie. Amel's writings
serve as a reminder of the need to renew Marxist thought based on
concrete and particular social realities, like colonialism.
