Revolutionary Studies explores the relevance of Marxism to emancipatory politics through a critical examination of core concepts and movements. The first part of Revolutionary Studies explores definitions of the working class, social identities, democracy, capitalism, and socialism. The second applies these understandings to the Russian, Chinese, Nicaraguan, and South African revolutionary and post-revolutionary experiences. Revolutionary Studies is rigorously and clearly written for anyone wanting to understand the interrelationship between revolutionary theory and revolutionary practice.
