Rosa Luxemburg and the Struggle for Democratic Renewal de Jon Nixon

Rosa Luxemburg and the Struggle for Democratic Renewal

Autor Jon Nixon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 apr 2018
Revolutionary Marxist activist Rosa Luxemburg (1871–1919) has long been a major inspiration for activists on the left. But what can we learn from looking closely at her life today? Jon Nixon answers that question here, offering a clear, concise account of Luxemburg’s biography and thought and setting it in relation to contemporary economic, political, and social debates. Nixon presents Luxemburg as not only an activist, but also as a major political theorist, showing how her thinking about global capitalism, state militarism, and other subjects can still be applied today, with powerful effects. By establishing a rich and distinctive account of Luxemburg, Nixon makes a compelling argument for the continuing relevance of her struggle for democratic renewal.

Recenzii

“An authoritative book that offers a compelling insight into the life and work of Rosa Luxemburg. Meticulously researched, this book showcases Nixon’s breadth of scholarship, insight and critical imagination. In his interrogation of Luxemburg’s social, historical and political contributions, Nixon exposes the importance of thinking differently and acting collectively. A significant contribution to the field of intellectual history.”
 

“Jon Nixon’s absorbing encounter with Rosa Luxemburg’s controversial legacy is at once a scholarly and thoroughly enjoyable reading of this remarkable thinker of ‘the political.’ Not only is Nixon’s analysis discerning and persuasive, it is also a timely reminder that Luxemburg’s iconoclastic voice should play a decisive role in critical discussions of global politics today.” 

“Jon Nixon provides us with a very well-written and detailed examination of Rosa Luxemburg and the historical and current importance of her work.  This is a fine introduction to a compelling historical figure.”
 

“A must for all those who are committed to social justice and democracy.”
