As we face new and debilitating catastrophes caused by capitalism
and nation-state politics, Saladdin Ahmed argues that our only hope
is to create space for a new world by negating the existing order.
To achieve this new society, Revolutionary Hope After Nihilism
outlines a practical philosophy of change that rejects ideologies
of false hope and passive hopelessness. Drawing public attention to
the decisiveness of the present historical moment, Ahmed introduces
a critical theory of social emancipation based on post-Soviet
revolutionary movements that have emerged at the margins of the
global social order. The rise of socially and politically
exclusionary movements in multiple parts of the world, ongoing
ecological crisis, anti-Black racism, and the concretization of
despair brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic demand a new
approach to revolution, which Ahmed argues, must be rooted in the
experiences of the most oppressed in society. Realizing the
epistemological potential of emancipatory movements, Ahmed rejects
dystopian nihilism and positions our focus on marginalized spaces
to break out of capitalist totalitarianism.
