Neil Davidson

Holding Fast to an Image of the Past (eBook, ePUB)

Explorations in the Marxist Tradition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Davidson explores classic themes in historical materialism as he explains: the moments of transition from the dominance of one mode of production to another; the process of social revolution which accompany these transitions; and the problem of nationalism, both as a theoretical challenge to Marxism's capacity for historical explanation and as a practical obstacle to socialist consciousness.
