Contemporary Post-Modern Marxist Theory/Lit/Thinkers

[redcoyote89]

Hi, after learning more en depth about postmodernist political science/theory, Foucault and the like(I am a political science major in college). So naturally ive become less and less interested in more orthodox Marxism (although i do not completely reject it).


Anyway, im lost at where to start for contemporary Marxist theory that at least flirts with postmodernist theory, specifically against essentialism and economic reductionism. Ive read some Gramsci and Zizek, those subsequently being two of my favorite theorists.

So im looking for any books or theorists who fit this general description?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Well by looking at the Post-Marxist wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Marxism) I found some lists of people you might be interested at looking.
