This collection exemplifies the resurgence of Marxist ideas in
contemporary social research. Its purpose is neither to cover all
the areas of Marxist research nor to survey alternative Marxist
perspectives or schools. Rather the volume assembles nine examples
of the most interesting work being done today by younger
sociologists who are seriously pursuing the rich and provocative
arguments to be found in the ongoing Marxist tradition. All
contributions build upon or react to Marxist theoretical
perspectives. They employ such diverse research techniques as
participant observation, statistical analysis, interviewing, and
the examination of archives of public documents. Among the topics
covered: - the economic bases of state policies and their
determination by social and political struggles; - the politcal
reshaping of international economic order; - industrial work in
relation to other institutions (such as education, patriarchy, and
citizenship); - the transformation of class structures in
capitalist and state-socialist societies. Published as a supplement
to American Journal of Sociology, these studies constitute
essential reading both for those sociologists who see Marxism as a
powerful framework for understanding capitalist societies and for
those who may not be committed to working within the Marxist
tradition but nevertheless want to see Marxist hypotheses fully
researched and debated.
