A reappraisal of emancipation, reviewing the meaning of the conceptand the use to which it is put in socail and political theory. The appealof emancipation is portrayed here as a concept which can embrace old andnew social movements, and the ideas of liberation, participation and empowerment.The ideas on which the book focuses are marxism and post-marxism, democracyand social movements, feminism, and development theory. The term 'emancipation'is being used increasingly in recent years, possibly reflecting, suggestsPieterse, the limitations of class analysis in the face of collective actionswhich are not reducible to class, and the limitations of postmodern discoursewhich impairs differentiation among types of collective action. Keywords:Development Theory, democracy, social movements, post-modernism, Marxism,post-Marxism.
