Herbert Marcuse s One-Dimensional Man has been called one of the most important books of the post-WWII era. Published in 1964, Marcuse s work was highly critical of modern industrial capitalism its exploitation of people and nature, its commodified aesthetics and consumer culture, the military-industrial complex and new forms of social control at the height of the Keynesian era. Contributors to this collection assess the key themes in One Dimensional Man from a diverse range of critical perspectives, including feminist, ecological, Indigenous and anti-capitalist. In light of the current struggles for emancipation from neoliberalism in Canada and across the globe, this critical look at Marcuse s influential work illustrates its relevance today and introduces his work to a new generation.
