Marx, Engels And National Movements
Edition: 1st us ed.,
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: worn/faded, no tears. Page Condition: Good. Markings: No markings. Binding: Binding appears intact. Stickers/Labels: None visible.
A rigorous work of political and historical scholarship, Marx, Engels and National Movements by Ian Cummins examines the often-overlooked dimension of Marxist thought: its engagement with nationalism and the struggles of oppressed peoples. Cummins systematically analyses the writings and correspondence of Marx and Engels to uncover their evolving and sometimes contradictory positions on national self-determination, ethnic identity, and the revolutionary potential of various national movements across Europe and beyond. The work presents a nuanced argument that the two founding figures of Marxism were far from indifferent to questions of nationhood, and that their views were shaped as much by political pragmatism as by theoretical conviction. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Cummins illustrates how these positions influenced the broader trajectory of socialist and communist movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This is an essential read for students of political theory, Marxist thought, and modern European history.
