Throughout his career Stuart Hall engaged with Marxism in varying
ways, actively rethinking it to address the political and cultural
exigencies of the moment. This collection of Hall's key writings on
Marxism surveys the questions central to his interpretations of and
investments in Marxist theory and practice. It includes Hall's
readings of canonical texts by Marx and Engels, Gramsci, and
Althusser; his exchanges with other prominent thinkers about
Marxism; his use of Marxist frameworks to theorize specific
cultural phenomena and discourses; and some of his later work in
which he distanced himself from his earlier attachments to Marxism.
In addition, editor Gregor McLennan's introduction and commentary
offer in-depth context and fresh interpretations of Hall's thought.
Selected Writings on Marxism demonstrates that grasping Hall's
complex relationship to Marxism is central to understanding the
corpus of his work.
