Dr. Öğretim Üyesi Sercan Hamza BAĞLAMA'nın The Resurrection of the Spectre: A Marxist Analysis of Race, Class and Alienation in the Post-War British Novel isimli kitabı Peter Lang yayınevi tarafından yayınlanmıştır.

This book analyses the literary works of four different post-war writers in order to examine the issues of class, race, gender and nationality/locality in relation to social, political and cultural circumstances in the second half of the twentieth century and suggests that one-dimensional identity politics paradoxically commodifies subjective ideas, homogenises the subordinated, eschews questions of economics and class relations and is solely concerned with recognition, tolerance and respect.

The overall aim is to reconceptualise the broader economic, cultural and social framework of the processes of alienation and of escape mechanisms employed by the individual as defence mechanisms in capitalist cultures. Over the course of the book, it is also suggested that the concept of identity should be taken into account in a more radically intersectional manner and that one-dimensional postmodern identity politics is unable to give a materialistic articulation of poverty and subordination within the larger context of global economics. The book develops an anti-establishment, egalitarian and emancipatory framework in reading its authors: one which might also be implemented as part of a movement that aims to critique, resist and overthrow injustice and oppression.
