But today the legacy of Marxism is contested, with some seeing it as Eurocentric and irrelevant to the wider global struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eGlobal Marxism\u003c\/i\u003e, Simin Fadaee argues that Marxism remains a living tradition and the cornerstone of revolutionary theory and practice in the Global South. She explores the lives, ideas and legacies of a group of revolutionaries who played an exceptional role in contributing to counter-hegemonic change. Figures such as Ho Chi Minh, Kwame Nkrumah, Ali Shariati and Subcomandante Marcos did not simply accept the version of Marxism that was given to them – they adapted it to local conditions and contexts. In doing this they demonstrated that Marxism is not a rigid set of propositions but an evolving force whose transformative potential remains enormous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This global Marxism has much to teach us in the never-ending task of grasping the changing historical conditions of capitalism and the complex world in which we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57416975319414,"sku":"9781526177988","price":22.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_40114042.jpg?v=1772794430","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781526177988-global-marxism","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
