The far left in Australia had significant effects on post-war
politics, culture and society. The Communist Party of Australia
(CPA) ended World War II with some 20,000 members, and despite the
harsh and vitriolic Cold War climate of the 1950s, seeded or
provided impetus for the re-emergence of other movements. Radicals
subscribing to ideologies beyond the Soviet orbit - Maoists,
Trotskyists, anarchists and others - also created parties and
organisations and led movements. All of these different far left
parties and movements changed and shifted during time, responding
to one political crisis or another, but they remained steadfastly
devoted to a better world. This collection, bringing together 14
chapters from leading and emerging figures in the Australian and
international historical profession, for the first time charts some
of these significant moments and interventions, revealing the
Australian far left's often forgotten contribution to the nation's
history.
