An Alternative Political Economy

Maliha Safri
Assistant Professor of Economics
Drew University

Sociology Colloquium

How do intellectuals and activists pass through the
“looking glass” of hegemony in the economic sphere?

Safri examines her recent work with Jersey Shore Haitian and Latino community members who are in the midst of mapping the “solidarity economy” projects that are both in existence, and those that may materialize. Simultaneously theorizing and constituting a new object of policy and politics allows us to reconfigure the imaginary of economic transformation.

Safri has been working in the areas of political economy, immigration, and subjectivity. She is a member of the Solidarity Economy Network, and the Center for Popular Economics. Safri is also an associate editor for the journal Rethinking Marxism.
