As is called for by a book of this gravity, Prof. Allen covers a staggering range of topics and a library's worth of secondary materials. This is all integrated in a compelling narrative exceptionally well. --Jeremy Engels, author of The Ethics of Oneness: Emerson, Whitman, and the Bhagavad Gita This is not a book about knowledge production but one, I would hazard to say, about knowledge ""digestion."" Its uniqueness and importance, I would add, is not in answering the traditional academic question ""what do we know and how do we know it?"" but, rather, ""how can we live with what we know?"" --Davide Panagia, author of Intermedialities: Political Theory and Cinematic Experience and Sentimental Empiricism: Politics, Philosophy, and Criticism in Postwar France With this generous and exhilarating book, Ira Allen gives us cause for hope--not because the carbon, capitalist, colonial world we inhabit can be saved, but because accepting its demise opens us to the wondrous ways we can build a new one together. --Jodi Dean, author of Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging" """This book is a tour-de-force.
