With the publication of Specters of Marxin 1993, Jacques Derrida redeemed a longstanding pledge to confrontMarx's texts directly and in detail. His characteristically bravurapresentation provided a provocative re-reading of the classics in theWestern tradition and posed a series of challenges to Marxism. In a timely intervention in one of today's most vital theoretical debates, the contributors to Ghostly Demarcations respond to the distinctive program projected by Specters of Marx.The volume features sympathetic meditations on the relationship betweenMarxism and deconstruction by Fredric Jameson, Werner Hamacher, AntonioNegri, Warren Montag, and Rastko Möcnik, brief polemical reviews byTerry Eagleton and Pierre Macherey, and sustained political critiquesby Tom Lewis and Aijaz Ahmad. The volume concludes with Derrida's replyto his critics in which he sharpens his views about the vexedrelationship between Marxism and deconstruction. Fredric Jameson, Antonio Negri, Terry Eagleton, Pierre Macherey and others engage in a debate on Marx with Jacques Derrida.
