Rezensionen

"This book establishes 'the politics of hope' as a key concern both for scholars and activists. In setting out, for the first time, the global logic of governing through hope, the links to colonial and postcolonial hierarchies of power and dependency are made clear. Hope is about reproducing the present rather than transforming the future."
