“Anne Garland Mahler’s incisive analysis brings to life a history of revolutionary internationalism with profound lessons for today.” - Michael Hardt, author of The Subversive Seventies “A Wide Net is a powerhouse intellectual history, astonishing in its breadth and brilliant in its critical arguments. Anne Garland Mahler provides in this book the foundations for a necessary history of solidarity and thinking in the Left through careful archival work and bold analytical intervention, unmatched in its ability to tell the history of world culture and world social movements.” - Ignacio M. Sanchez Prado, author of Strategic Occidentalism: On Mexican Fiction, the Neoliberal Book Market, and the Question of World Literature
