What is the meaning of revolution in the twenty-first century?One
hundred years ago 'October 1917' was a unique event inspiring
socialists and oppressed peoples and became an inevitable point of
reference for 20th century politics. Today the left needs both come
to terms with this legacy and to transcend it, through a critical
reappraisal of its broad effects - positive and negative - on
political, intellectual and cultural life, considering also new
revolutions after 1917. The main point of the volume is to look
forward. Nowadays, when reform as it was understood in the 20th
century appears to be as impossible as revolution, it is necessary
to rethink the relationship between capitalist crises and both
revolution and reform. Change needs to be understood in relation to
the distinct trajectories of radical politics in different regions.
Contributors will consider, interrogate and explore many issues:*
Alternatives to neoliberal capitalism: Socialist strategies - or
detours? * The immense ecological challenge to revolutionary
political strategy.* Reframing revolution amidst accelerated
technological change.* What is the salience today of the concept of
the revolutionary party?* Questioning agency - of the working class
and other oppressed groups. * Socialist feminist perspectives on
the meaning of revolution today. * Revolutionary vision, including
its artistic expression in the 21st century.
