This collection presents lengthy excerpts from six major works by Amel, making them available in English for the first time. These works include two foundational texts on colonialism and underdevelopment, where Amel delves into the issue of dependency. Additionally, there is a treatise on sectarianism and the state, a critique of Edward Said's analysis of Marx, an exposure of emerging Islamized bourgeois trends of thought, and a reflection on cultural heritage as perceived by the Arab bourgeoisie. Amel's writings serve as a reminder of the need to renew Marxist thought based on concrete and particular social realities, such as colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 306g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 229 x 11 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781642596038\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mahdi Amel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098752053498,"sku":"9781642596038","price":19.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646297084458_book.jpg?v=1646942655","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/arab-marxism-and-national-liberation-selected-writings-of-mahdi-amel-9781642596038","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
