Socialism Now

Socialism Now: Singing Activism after Yugoslavia poses a thought-provoking question: how can collective singing shape the foundations of a future anti-capitalist project? By reclaiming the so-called lost knowledge from the Yugoslav socialist project, this book offers a timely perspective on the political potential of music and sound. Introducing the concept of strategic amateurism, it showcases the non-professional leisure activities in navigating today's pervasive commodification of our lives. Hofman's work makes an intriguing exploration for anyone interested in how collective expression can pave new avenues of organizing against neoliberal political exhaustion.
