Summary:
Material gathered here stems from an April 2014 conference held at the Center for International Education at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Contributors imagine an end to capitalism and what might replace it, exploring the cultural, political, geographical, and organizational aspects of a world after capitalism, in countries including Cuba, Iran, and India. Major themes are political economics, representation and imaging, and geopolitical localities. One section is devoted to media and art, touching on topics such as austerity media, representation and reality in science fiction film, and Cuban filmmaking and the post-capitalist transition. Other subjects examined include economic and cultural policies in post-revolutionary Iran, and the emergence of coyote capitalism. While the book is intended for scholars and advanced students, it aims to be accessible to general readers with some background. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
