The Fetish Revisited

Marx, Freud, and the Gods Black People Make

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

J. Lorand Matory casts an Afro-Atlantic eye on European social theory to show how Marx's and Freud's conceptions of the fetish illuminate and misrepresent the nature of Africaâ s gods while demonstrating that Afro-Atlantic gods have their own social logic that is no less rational than European social theories.
