The Antipolitical Imagination: Literature, Dissent, and Human Rights

From the Eastern bloc to Latin America, a wide range of dissenting artists, intellectuals and human-rights activists experimented with a new concept in the 1970s and '80s: a set of ideas and practices known as “antipolitics.” “The Antipolitical Imagination: Literature, Dissent, and Human Rights" is the first book project to provide a literary history of the cultural turn to antipolitics, from its earliest theorists and practitioners up through the end of the global Cold War.
