This is the sixth and final volume of L&W's comprehensive
history of the British Communist Party, covering the debates of the
last years - a period of accelerated change and reassessment, and
ultimately dissolution. The book begins by situating the CPGB
within the major social and cultural changes of the 1960s, and
documents the hopes for renewal that were symbolised by the new
social movements associated with May 68, and the Prague spring. It
ends with the collapse of the party and the fall of the Berlin
Wall. Despite all the new thinking and idealism, the party could
not hold together. The book covers the Young Communist League's
engagement with popular culture in the 1960s; the influence of the
new social movements, especially feminism; the party's strong
presence in the trade unions; CPGB relations with the Labour Party
and labour movement; the increasing influence of Gramsci within the
party, especially among a new generation of intellectuals; the
Communist Universities of London; the influence of Eurocommunism;
and the rise and fall of Marxism Today. Geoff Andrews is Lecturer
and Staff Tutor in Politics at the Open University, and a co-editor
of Soundings. He has written widely on the history of the left, and
on contemporary Italian politics. His publications include
Citizenship (1991) and - with Nina Fishman and Kevin Morgan -
Opening the Books: Essays on the Cultural and Social History of the
Communist Party (1995). He is currently completing a new book, Not
a Normal Country: Italy under Berlusconi.
