Marxism and nationalism

Más información sobre el libro

Nimni has crafted an innovative and rigorous work that critiques and details the complex relationship between Western Marxists and the Nationalities question. He effectively contextualizes these social and political theories within their historical framework, aiming to understand them on their own terms. Notably, Nimni highlights the relevance of Marxist theory in analyzing the contemporary disintegration of nationalities in Eastern Europe, implicitly challenging Fukuyama's assertion of liberalism's triumph in the late twentieth century. Furthermore, he addresses the epistemological and logical foundations of Marxism, exploring the often-overlooked connections between Marxist and liberal thought. This book serves as a valuable resource for those interested in nationalism, particularly in relation to the contributions of Australian socialist Otto Bauer. It is a significant addition to the literature on socialism and nationalism, especially in its examination of Bauer's chapters. Overall, Nimni's work is rich and perceptive, making it a necessary reference for anyone engaged in this field of study.
