Reinhardt treats the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, Karl Marx, and Hannah Arendt as exemplary sources for an expansion of political possibility. These writers indicate where and how the new spaces can be brought into being, and they reveal acts of making space as some of the prime moments of politics. Reinhardt's extended readings of these writers, who have never previously been treated together, are quite unlike the familiar understandings of their thought. "Taking liberties," he brings the literary and political sensibility usually associated with postmodernism to a sympathetic if critical encounter with eminently modern thinkers. The result is a strong and idiosyncratic book, accessible and stylish, which mixes acute readings of canonical thinkers with more practical applications and illustrations. Reinhardt combines attention to textual detail and nuance with concern for contemporary politics, discussing in an unusually inventive example the AIDS activist group ACT UP.

Although a legendary figure in his native Mexico, Rius, the pen name for the writer, political cartoonist and communist intellectual Eduardo del RÃo GarcÃa, is not well known in the United States (or probably Europe, either).
Despite the title, at least a little political savvy is necessary to fully understand Marx for Beginners. However, Rius provides a beautifully enjoyable (and quite funny) journey detailing the beginnings of the many threads of political theory that eventually influenced Karl Marx and/or his sidekick Frederich Engels. But the best part of the slender book has to be Rius' cartoons and vintage illustrations. So highly recommended!
Marx for Beginners is the first of Rius' book that I've read, but it won't be the last. I've bought Diccionario de la estupidez humana (The Dictionary of Human Stupidity), Hitler Para Masoquistas (no translation needed) and Los Agachados (The Submissive), all of them in Spanish. So I'll be entertained and improve my Spanish! A win-win!
