The Radical Essentials Pamphlet Series [REPS]

Founding Editor: Yusef Progler

The Radical Essentials Pamphlet Series brings readers a collection of reprinted book chapters, essays and lectures that are necessary for envisioning life beyond the hegemonic grip of Western modernity, its knowledge traditions and its socio-economic systems. Emphasizing influential and ground-breaking works that have grown out of socio-political struggles, the pamphlets feature maverick thinkers operating within the Western intellectual tradition and Third World thinkers developing their own intellectual traditions. The focus of the series is on action-oriented critical analysis about a variety of contemporary topics, including the environment, colonialism, consumerism, technology, health and education.
