Summary:

The Marxism of Manuel Sacristán: From Communism to the New Social Movements offers a substantial selection of some of the most significant writings on Marx, Marxism, and radical social theory by Manuel Sacristán, Spain's most important Marxist philosopher. Whether discussing Marx's intellectual development and philosophical views, exploring central issues in Marxist theory or analysing the challenge to contemporary Marxism from feminism, pacifism and environmentalism, Sacristán emerges in these pages as both a major Marx Scholar and a formidable social theorist in his own right. The Marxism of Manuel Sacristán makes available in English for the first time many of the key texts by a brilliant, yet neglected, Marxist thinker. Book jacket.
