| Summary: | In Global Marxism, 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. |
