Marxism And Historical Practice: Interpretive Essays On Class Formation And Class Struggle Volume I Summary

Marxism And Historical Practice: Interpretive Essays On Class Formation And Class Struggle Volume I: Historical Materialism Volume 98 by Bryan Palmer

The two volumes of Marxism and Historical Practice bring together essays written by one of the major Marxist historians of the last 50 years. The pieces collected in Volume I, Interpretive Essays on Class Formation and Class Struggle, offer a stimulating, empirically grounded survey of North American collective behaviour, popular mobilizations, and social struggles, ranging from a rich discussion of ritualistic protest like the charivari through the rise of the Knights of Labor in the 1880s to campaigns against neoliberal labour reform in British Columbia in the 1980s.
