BRICS is a grouping of the five major emerging economies of Brazil,
Russia, India, China and South Africa. Volume five in the
Democratic Marxism series, BRICS and the New American Imperialism
challenges the mainstream understanding of BRICS and US dominance
to situate the new global rivalries engulfing capitalism. It offers
novel analyses of BRICS in the context of increasing US induced
imperial chaos, deepening environmental crisis tendencies (such as
climate change and water scarcity), contradictory dynamics inside
BRICS countries and growing subaltern resistance. The authors
revisit contemporary thinking on imperialism and anti-imperialism,
drawing on the work of Rosa Luxemburg, one of the leading theorists
after Marx, who attempted to understand the expansionary nature of
capitalism from the heartlands to the peripheries. The richness of
Luxemburg's pioneering work inspires most of the volume's
contributors in their analyses of the dangerous contradictions of
the contemporary world as well as forms of democratic agency
advancing resistance. While various forms of resistance are
highlighted, among them water protests, mass worker strikes,
anti-corporate campaigning and forms of cultural critique, this
volume grapples with the challenge of renewing anti-imperialism
beyond the NGO-driven World Social Forum and considers the
prospects of a new horizontal political vessel to build global
convergence. It also explores the prospects of a Fifth
International of Peoples and Workers.
