Here Be Monsters speaks to a left that has forgotten its history,
its potential, and its power. Gramsci spoke of a time of monsters
or morbid symptoms. In the ancient world, monsters were not
enemies, but rather divine warnings, symptoms of a world out of
balance. Here Be Monsters meets these monsters and listens to what
they have to tell us. Interweaving personal stories with engaging
histories of political thought and the meanings of monsters, Rhyd
Wildermuth reveals the roots of current identity conflicts and
political contradictions in feminism, anti-racist theory, Marxism,
Frankfurt School theorists, and the many other leftist attempts to
put the world back into balance. The left has always been the
province of dreamers and visionaries, or as Ursula K. Le Guin named
them, “realists of a larger reality.” Here Be Monsters is an
urgent and deeply engaging narrative to help us remember that
reality once more.
