Anderson is the author of numerous books, including The Origins of Postmodernity (1998) and In the Tracks of Historical Materialism (1983).

 New Statesman - The New Statesman Profile - Perry Anderson
Anderson's goal was the introduction into Britain of a new kind of socialist culture, alternative to both the official Marxism of the Communist Party and the stolid reformism of the Labour Party.
Anderson responded, and their exchange is as interesting and as revealing as the better-remembered "Two Cultures" debate between F R Leavis and C P Snow.
Anderson is too intelligent and honest to deny the intellectual and political triumph of the right in the past decade, and yet he has never formally renounced his revolutionary convictions.

 Wade Matthews | The Poverty of Strategy: E.P. Thompson, Perry Anderson, and the Transition to Socialism | Labour/Le ...
Anderson equated hegemony with cultural supremacy, while he maintained that the hegemony of a particular dominant class was a consequence of their ability to determine the preponderant "consciousness, character and customs" of a society.
Anderson and Thompson, however, did not so much undertake a proper examination of the possible solutions to these problems by situating them in their objective economic and social context, as make a "voluntarist wager" on a process by which the consciousness of 'men' would be transformed by the work of other forms of consciousness.
Anderson's presumption that advanced capitalist societies were distinguished by the "supremacy of civil society over the state," was a direct correlate of both his understanding of capitalism as the product of the consciousness of the bourgeoisie and his conception of socialist change as dependent on the consciousness of the working class.

 Fracción Trotskista Estrategia Internacional
Anderson brilliantly describes the conditions that allowed the token reinvigoration of the US with regard to its competitors during the 1990s (1), set against with the decades that elapsed since the onset of the crisis of capitalist accumulation in the early 1970s.
Anderson is far from any kind of impressionistic analysis operating a complete separation between the imperialist politics of the current Bush administration and that of Clinton in the 1990s, -e.g.
Anderson maintains that the relevant political question in relation to the divergences between Europe and the US is whether they are anticipating a major rift or further reversals in the inter-imperialist balance of power.

 THE BLANKET * Index: Current Articles
Blackledge argues that the central problematic of Anderson’s thought revolves around the fact that all the various strands of Marxism had at their heart a lacuna: they contained no satisfactory theory of the modern bourgeois state as it had evolved in the West, and no systematic account of the nature of bourgeois democracy.
Anderson believed that it was imperative to address this lacuna in theory and turned to this task in order to inform revolutionary practice.
Anderson, according to Blackledge, has a tendency to downplay the role of workers struggle; in particular he rejects the idea that contradictions might develop between the consciousness of British workers and the ideology of Labourism.

 The Voice of the Turtle
Perry Anderson, of course, is not a figure of world-historical importance, and to that extent the comparison is a flattering one.
In trying to categorise Perry Anderson we are here on somewhat safer ground, for it seems clear that he is no longer the revolutionary that he was once, although when he sloughed off this identity is actually quite hard to gauge.
The seeds of Anderson's changing political perspective are rooted in the mid-1970s, as we have seen but also as we might expect from someone whose antennae have always been finely tuned to the shifting dialectics of the age.

 Wayne Hall reviews Perry Anderson's Force and Consent from New Left Review 17 - Spectre Magazine, 7th December, 2002
Anderson has to be reminded there is another audience monitoring him beyond those with whom he habitually associates and with whom he is personally familiar.
Anderson endorses the idea  that Iraq’s supposed continuing desire to possess nuclear weapons is a plausible ground for Washington’s current preparations to invade it.
The mechanism at work in Anderson’s writing is exactly the same as with his  concealment of the  realities of 9/11: a manufactured threat: a threat which has been brought into existence through years of persevering  diplomatic and political work on the part of the United States, is taken at face value.

 Michael Neumann: A Rebuttal of Perry Anderson
Anderson may be right that the moral principle involved is the same, but it would be hypocritical not to allow the world a bit of hypocrisy in distinguishing between major and minor violations of that principle.
Anderson claims to think that replacing the government will be no huge deal; he cites Kuwait, Jordan and Egypt as examples of "stable regimes created or guided by foreign powers...in the Middle East." But Jordan is an insignificant mini-state, and certainly no model of peace or stability.
Anderson is upset that critics of Bush and Blair are too respectful of the United Nations and tribunals claiming to adjudicate international law.

 The 'historical pessimism' of Perry Anderson
Perry Anderson, who took control of NLR very soon after its foundation and tirelessly inspired it, has given the whole thing punch by opening the new series with an editorial of which the least that can be said is that it is not banal!
Anderson also manages to imply that Moscow's attitude in the 1999 war was more favourable to the American undertaking than it had been in 1990-1991, which is blatant untruth.
One striking aspect of Perry Anderson's ultra-pessimism is the way in which he raises very high the bar for a new modification of the balance of forces acting against neo-liberalism, succumbing thereby to a particularly crude economic determinism.

Anderson reports that Jameson did that in a lecture at the Whitney Museum of Contemporary Arts in the fall of 1982.
Anderson mentions other names from the typical postmodern bibliography but plays less light on their contribution to the main run-up to Jameson, his featured man: Baudrillard; De Man; Derrida; Foucault; Heidegger; Levinas; Nietzsche; Wittgenstein, Adorno, Horkheimer, and Walter Benjamin (the three voices from the Frankfurt School); Rorty.
Anderson has glossed this maneuver with cogent insights into the make-up of postmodernism's modernist antecedents, again in the same comprehensive conceptual framework.
