Jukka:

You might also be interested in reading Antonio Callari and David F. 
Ruccio ed. _Postmodern materialism and the future of Marxist theory: 
essays in the Althusserian tradition_, Wesleyan university Press, 1996.

A disproportionate number of authors come from a "Amherst" perspective 
(e.g. Callari, Ruccio, Cullenberg, Wolff, Resnick, Gibson-Graham, Diskin, 
McIntyre, etc) -- a distinct variation of Althusserianism. There are also 
interesting essays by Antonio Negri (on Althusser), Etienne Balibar 
(overdetermination, etc.), Emmanuel Terray (Althusser and Machiavelli 
[!]), and Alain Lipietz ("Political Ecology and the Workers' Movement: 
Similarities and Differences").

The book is divided as follows:

Introductory essay by editors

I. The role of the subject: the individual and the masses

II. Totality, causality, and explanation

III. Class analysis and political economy

IV. Politics: class and beyond

V. Louis Althusser [a single essay by Gregory Elliot].
