Communist Histories: Volume 1

The contemporary world cannot be fully understood without the struggles of the Communists over the past century. Rooted in South Asia Communist Histories has a global sweep with essays examining Communist praxis from Bengal to Maharashtra from Cuba to China. This volume – the first in a series – looks closely at the Communist international with an emphasis on how the core idea of internationalism impacted the campaigns of Communists. Deeply researched and richly written these essays are a counterpoint to the erasure of Communist movements in bourgeois historiography.
