Political Writings
The first collection of Lyotard’s political works to appear in English. Published between 1956 and 1989 in Socialisme ou Barbarie and other journals of the noncommunist French left, these essays and articles address issues of imperialism and decolonization, the student rebellions of 1968-69, and the modern state as a political form. The political moments implicit in Lyotard’s arguments in The Postmodern Condition are made explicit in these writings, which trace the shifts in political thinking necessitated by the emergence of the postmodern.
