Beskrivning

The photographs collected in this unique book provide a startling visual documentation of seminal revolutionary events, from the Paris Commune of 1871 through to a series of “Unfinished Revolutions”, from May 1968 in France to the Zapatista uprsing in ther mid-1990s. The immediacy of the images tells the story of these struggles in a way that texts rarely can, with revolutions appearing as complex and messy events driven by the actions of real, breathing humans who make their own history. Commentary on the images is provided by leading historians Gilbert Achcar, Enzo Traverso, Janette Habel, and Pierre Rousset, and Michael Löwy. This edition includes a new afterword by the author.

"Michael Löwy is a Marxist author unlike any other. He has lived a life that is a study in uncommon political responsibility, one that traverses the peaks and valleys of revolutionary politics on multiple continents from the 1950s to the present and his degree of consistent, organized, and collectivist activist commitment is unicorn rare."—Alan Wald
