Sex-pol

This volume contains the first complete translations of Wilhelm Reich’s writings from his Marxist period. Reich who died in 1957 had a career with a single goal: to find ways of relieving human suffering. And the same curiosity and courage that led him from medical school to join the early pioneers of Freudian psychoanalysis and then to some of the most controversial work of this century—his development of the theory of the orgone—led him also at one period of his life to become a radical socialist.. The renewed interest in Reich’s Marxist writings and particularly in his notions about sexual and political liberation follows the radical critiques of Herbert Marcuse Frantz Fanon and Paul Goodman the political protest movements toward personal liberation in the present decade.
