The contemporary world cannot be fully understood without the struggles
of the Communists over the past century. Rooted in South Asia, Communist
Histories has a global sweep, with essays examining Communist praxis
from Bengal to Maharashtra, from Cuba to China. This volume - the first
in a series - looks closely at the Communist international with an
emphasis on how the core idea of internationalism impacted the campaigns
of Communists. Deeply researched and richly written, these essays are a
counterpoint to the erasure of Communist movements in bourgeois
historiography.
