"David Bell’s is one of the most insightful and challenging new voices not only in utopian studies but more broadly in critical theory and cultural studies. In Rethinking Utopia: Place, Power, Affect, he conjoins his engaged theoretical analysis with his political, performative, and pedagogical experience and delivers a deeply considered, and truly dialectical, re-functioning of the utopian problematic that will enable both scholars and activists to work with and in the process of utopian transformation in affective and structural ways. Put aside your reading lists, and turn to this book – and in doing so prepare to have your critical paradigm shifted."—Tom Moylan, Glucksman Professor Emeritus and Founding Director of the Ralahine Centre for Utopian Studies at the University of Limerick
"David Bell's book stands out among recent contributions to the field of utopian studies for its theoretical sophistication and originality. The excellent discussion of utopia as place is particularly noteworthy. I warmly recommend this work to all those interested in rethinking utopia as a tool for self-critical radical political thought in the twenty-first century."—Dr. Laurence Davis, University College Cork, editor of Anarchism and Utopianism (2014) and The New Utopian Politics of Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed (2005)
"…Bell makes Rethinking Utopia into a text that is not only academically rigorous and provocative but also practically useful in the hands of educators whose experiences are often marked by struggles that seem very far from utopian. Bell’s measured, agonistic, prefigurative utopianism of place helps to show how this struggle can itself have utopian dimensions."—Emile Bojesen, Utopia and Politics
"When working in a field as broad and as often misunderstood as political utopianism, it is important for writers to take a nuanced approach and that is exactly what David Bell does in his analysis in Rethinking Utopia: Place, Power, Affect. …Largely speaking, the author is successful in his analysis and in his goal of enriching the discipline of utopian studies. The greatest strength lies in his weaving in of the various cases and scholars into his own argument, thus proving that it is applicable to a number of different contexts and is also part of a wider tradition of utopian thinking. His criticism of the subject, in particular calling out its homogeneous thinking, is backed up by strong and relevant references to queer theory, feminism and post-colonialism.’ —Ibtisam Ahmed, Political Studies Review
"... provides a corrective to recent literature which positions utopia as a placeless desire or impulse, and it builds on, critiques and pushes further the literature which regards utopia as a heuristic device or method."—Darren Webb, Pedagogy, Culture & Society
"...an extraordinary book. In Rethinking Utopia Bell balances nuanced engagement with conceptual detail across a variety of disciplinary areas with a wider coherence of purpose so that the guiding aims of the volume are never far from view. This is a closely worked argument for a radical and critically self-aware politics. It is inclusive, conceptually ambitious, and broad in scope. Bell poses fundamental challenges to utopian studies that will likely help shape the subject's future direction of travel. This is all the more so as he astutely perceives the natural limits in scope and (at times necessary) ambiguities of his discussion. Thus the "rethinking" of the title is not an attempt to reinvent the wheel but, rather, to regard utopian scholarship in the context of wider political issues and create a dialogic route through some of the most important recent debates in the discipline."—Adam Stock, Utopian Studies
