<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A comprehensive course in the contributions of key figures to the Marxist tradition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>From Marx to Gramsci</em> offers a readable introduction to the historical contexts, lives, and revolutionary ideas of six central thinkers in the Marxist tradition--Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, V. I. Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Antonio Gramsci. A clear and well-documented introduction demonstrates how their varied contributions represent a revolutionary Marxist synthesis, providing an understanding of capitalist development, a theory of the labor movement, a strategy for revolution, and a conception of the transition to socialism. The bulk of the volume provides a representative sampling of Marxist writings offering insights into the dynamics of history, politics, society, and economics, with an emphasis on struggles for social change. <em>From Marx to Gramsci</em> concludes with a searching discussion, drawing from various critics of Marxism and realities of the late twentieth century, of whether revolutionary Marxism actually has a future.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is an extremely valuable volume.

The scholarly apparatus--bibliography, short biographies, and introductory essays--makes it especially useful both for the general reader and for teachers in the field. It should make a useful contribution in our struggle for human freedom."<br><strong>--Dennis Brutus, South African poet and revolutionary activist</strong> <p/>The power of this book lies in Le Blanc's excellent selection and presentation of some of the most fundamental ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky, and Gramsci.
