Book Information
Following the translated English text of Karl Marx's 1848 Manifesto of the Communist Party, 14 contributors--members of the Political Studies Association (UK) Marxism Specialist Group--dissect this surprisingly brief for so seminal a document in four sections: as text and context (e.g. Michael Levin's "The Hungry Forties: The Socioeconomic Context...", in relation to revolution (Paxton's "Marx's Theory of History and the Russian Revolution"), the role of the working class (Wilks-Heeg's "The Communist Manifesto and Working- class Parties in Europe), and its relevancy today (Burnham's "The Communist Manifesto as International Relations Theory").
