Rezensionen

This book provides a theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich class analysis of the state and revolution that has been long overdue. Given the fast-paced changes taking place in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet republics, and now Latin America, the appearance of Berberoglu's book at this critical time makes us doubly fortunate. -- Martin Orr, Boise State University An outstanding contribution to the understanding of the world historical period from 1917 to 1989, a period that witnessed dramatic socialist revolutions. -- James W. Russell, Eastern Connecticut State University Providing an incisive analysis of the state and social revolution in the twentieth century, this book brings to life the struggles of oppressed workers and peasants for state power with exceptional clarity, articulating the linkage between theory and practice in these revolutionary processes and offering essential lessons for building today's movement for global justice and equality. -- Walda Katz-Fishman, Howard University The State and Revolution in the 20th Century is an excellent example of the application of class analysis to the study of the state and major socialist revolutions of the past century. It provides a much needed comparative-historical perspective for studying key social movements that have succeeded in taking state power to effect change. -- Rhonda Levine, Colgate University
