"Mark Devenney's book with its interweaving of high theory, political critique and empirical historical analysis is exemplary within the fields of critical and democratic theory. The result is a work of critical political theory like no other I have read in recent years.--Liam Farrell, University of Limerick ""Journal of Political Power"" The strength of the book is Devenney's knowledgeable and subtle engagement with a range of post-foundational thinkers, bringing forward and accentuating what is useful among its interlocutors.--Torrey Shanks, University of Toronto ""Contemporary Political Theory"" For those with a thorough grounding in left political theory, Towards an Improper Politics provides a thorough, detailed and persuasive argument. Devenney demonstrates a mastery in the field of high radical democratic theory, as well as contemporary political left critique, and populist politics from a decolonial lens, and this book will be of interest to any with an academic interest or expertise in those areas. Devenney's expertise, creativity and theoretical innovation are undeniable.--Francesca Kilpatrick ""Interfere"" To say this book is timely would be pure understatement: we need this book now because we needed it a decade ago. The turn to the question of property as a question of propriety provides an essential analysis of our contemporary social order, because we will not find a future path toward sustaining, re-affirming, or (better) remaking democracy, without the radical rethinking of property on offer here.-- ""Samuel A. Chambers, John Hopkins University"""
