Abstract:
This special edition marks the centenary of Raymond Williams’s birth. It maps out some of his key work and considers how Williams’s thinking is foundational for cultural studies and yet is now often overlooked or unacknowledged. While Williams’s work was limited in the sense that it did not account for gender or race, and thus at times has been amenable to regressive interpretations, the essay also considers how his writing has provided theoretical models, political inspiration, and intellectual resources for feminism and anti-imperialism. It concludes by reflecting on the deep, enduring radicalness of his thinking, and argues that rather than disavow it for the silences, absences and limitations, we might continue to build upon, extend and pluralize what remains a rich, vital and urgent body of work.
