In this study, Filipe Carreira da Silva and Mónica Brito Vieira expand our understanding of the history of social and political scholarship by examining how the entirety of a book mediates and constitutes meaning in ways that affect its substance, appropriation, and reception over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining the evolving form of classic works of social and political thought, including W. E. B. Du Bois's \u003ci\u003eThe Souls of Black Folk\u003c\/i\u003e, G. H. Mead's \u003ci\u003eMind, Self, and Society\u003c\/i\u003e, and Karl Marx's 1844 \u003ci\u003eEconomic and Philosophic Manuscripts\u003c\/i\u003e, Carreira da Silva and Brito Vieira show that making these books involved many hands. They explore what publishers, editors, translators, and commentators accomplish by offering the reading public new versions of the works under consideration, examine debates about the intended meaning of the works and discussions over their present relevance, and elucidate the various ways in which content and material form are interwoven. In doing so, Carreira da Silva and Brito Vieira characterize the editorial process as a meaning-producing action involving both collaboration and an ongoing battle for the importance of the book form to a work's disciplinary belonging, ideological positioning, and political significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheoretically sophisticated and thoroughly researched, \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of the Book \u003c\/i\u003eradically changes our understanding of what doing social and political theory--and its history--implies. It will be welcomed by scholars of book history, the history of social and political thought, and social and political theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFilipe Carreira da Silva\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Research Fellow at the University of Lisbon and a Fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge.
