Beginning in 1859, the world was engulfed by a new process of
revolutionary change that was more extensive geographically, more
prolonged in time, more powerful, and more varied in its
consequences than the great European revolution of 1848-1849. The
same working classes participated in both movements, but earlier
visions were replaced by pragmatic ideas, new forms of
organization, and new lines of action. This volume chronicles the
emergence and evolution of one of the new groups, the International
Working Men's Association, which went into history under the name
of the First International. Unlike previous historians and writers
who generally aligned themselves with either Marx or Bakunin, the
great rivals in the movement, author Henryk Katz offers a history
of the group and its scores of fascinating personalities. He
surveys the First International in the context of the general
history of the period from 1846 to 1874, as well as in the context
of the worldwide movements of liberation that included the freeing
of American slaves, the emancipation of Russian serfs, and the
unification of Italy. Katz also fully describes the major role the
First International played in the process of the revival and
expansion of the West European labor movement. Working from primary
and secondary sources, Katz presents a secularized history of the
International that will be a valuable reference tool for both
libraries and a wide variety of history, political science, and
sociology courses.
