Reviews

'In this original study, Katouza powerfully shows how national social struggles, like the ones we witnessed in Greece in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008, are littered with contradictions and exclusions. Nevertheless by taking the politics of the excluded as its horizon, Surplus Citizens offers us the hope of a more inclusive, transnational politics' -- Elena Loizidou, Birkbeck University of London An extraordinary achievement. Kotouza's incisive contribution to critical social theory and to the analysis of the contemporary dynamics of capitalist social relations should be read by all. -- Werner Bonefeld, author of 'Critical Theory and the Critique of Political Economy: On Subversion and Negative Reason'


'An extraordinary guide to our present' -- Joshua Clover, author of 'Riot. Strike. Riot: The New Era of Uprisings' 'In this original study, Kotouza powerfully shows how national social struggles, like the ones we witnessed in Greece in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008, are littered with contradictions and exclusions.

Riot: The New Era of Uprisings' 'Breaking the ethno-national and state-centred cage into which discussions of the Greek crisis have largely been confined, Kotouza's book puts questions of race, gender and migration at the core of its analysis and provides us with a powerful model for investigating the dynamics and limits of contemporary surplus rebellions' -- Alberto Toscano, author of 'Fanaticism: On the Uses of an Idea'
