Reviews for Logics of Disintegration
A major and brilliant work of Marxist theory, admirably rigorous, clear-minded and well-researched.
Terry Eagleton This is a fascinating book on many levels ... Dews manages the exceptional feat of being both fair and clear in expounding Derrida, Lacan, Lyotard and Foucault.
