May Day Manifesto 1968 by Owen Jones
A timely reissue of the classic socialist call to arms
A genuinely collaborative project among a range of leftwing intellectuals of the day-- Terry Eagleton
The Manifesto sought to rescue and renew the idea that the purpose of the politics of the left - Labour and beyond - should be to further the long-term transformation of capitalist society in a democratic and egalitarian direction. -- Michael Rustin * Guardian *
Explores the crisis of austerity, the burden of empire and the failures to control rampant capitalism, but ... clears the path to a brighter and equal future. * Cent Magazine *
Arguably the founding text of the British New Left. -- John Harris * Guardian *
A timely reprint ... the scope of the document is impressive and the new edition will serve as a useful introduction to the politics of the New Left for contemporary readers. -- Liam Cooper, vice-chair Dulwich and West Norwood CLP
Reading Manifesto in 2018, it's remarkable how methodical and far-reaching its analysis still appears, just as the problems it presents - and the answers it proposes - are still nowhere
near being resolved today. -- J.J. Charlesworth * ArtReview *
