Caribbean Critique seeks to define and analyze the distinctive contribution of francophone Caribbean thinkers to perimetric Critical Theory. The book argues that their singular project has been to forge a brand of critique that, while borrowing from North Atlantic predecessors such as Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, and Sartre, was from the start indelibly marked by the Middle Passage, slavery, and colonialism. Chapters and sections address figures such as Toussaint Louverture, Baron de Vastey, Victor Schoelcher, Aimé Césaire, René Ménil, Frantz Fanon, Maryse Condé, and Edouard Glissant, while an extensive theoretical introduction defines the essential parameters of 'Caribbean Critique.'

The publication of Reading Capital—by Louis Althusser, Étienne Balibar, Roger Establet, Pierre Macherey, and Jacques Rancière—in 1965 marked a key intervention in Marxist philosophy and critical theory, bringing forth a stunning array of concepts that continue to inspire philosophical reflection of the highest magnitude. The Concept in Crisis reconsiders the volume’s reading of Marx and renews its call for a critique of capitalism and culture for the twenty-first century. The contributors—who include Alain Badiou, Étienne Balibar, and Fernanda Navarro—interrogate Althusser's contributions in particular within the context of what is surely the most famous collective reading of Marx ever undertaken. Among other topics, they offer a symptomatic critique of Althusser; consider his writing as a materialist production of knowledge; analyze the volume’s conceptualization of value and crisis; examine how leftist Latin American leaders like Che Guevara and Subcomandante Marcos engaged with Althusser and Reading Capital; and draw out the volume's implications and use for feminist theory and praxis. Retrieving the inspiration that drove Althusser's reinterpretation of Marx, The Concept in Crisis explains why Reading Capital's revolutionary inflection retains its critical appeal, prompting readers to reconsider Marx's relevance in an era of neoliberal capitalism.

Quelles sources les chercheurs mobilisent-ils pour approcher la complexité du « fait esclavagiste » issu de la traite transatlantique ? Que tirent les historiens de leur retour vers des sources d'archives utilisées par leurs prédécesseurs et de l'entrée d'instruments méthodologiques novateurs dans ce champ de la recherche pour lequel on observe un regain d'intérêt ? Que peuvent apporter la peinture, le cinéma ou l'étude de l'imaginaire visuel à la connaissance de l'impact de l'esclavage dans les sociétés depuis plus de trois siècles ? Telles sont les principales questions qui constituent l'aiguillon de Figures d'esclaves, un ouvrage dans lequel quinze historiens, sociologues, anglicistes, anthropologues et spécialistes de littérature se sont réunis dans le but de présenter des études inédites. La publication de cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans le cadre du programme de recherche financé par la région Haute- Normandie : « La Haute-Normandie : une tradition d'ouverture sur le monde ».
