Fired up by the outbreak of the First World War and outraged by the
capitulation of most socialist parties in the face of their
respective national bourgeoisies, Lenin sought to understand the
deeper roots of the crisis of the world movement. The result was a
popular outline book, Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism,
which went on to become a core text for the international communist
movement. But Lenin also sought to break with the Eurocentrism of
the socialist movement that tended to look down with disdain at or
simply reject struggles for self-determination especially by
colonised peoples. This volume, introduced by the renowned
abolitionist and anti-imperialist theorist Ruth Wilson Gilmore,
brings together both the texts on imperialism and those on the
national question to provide a window into Lenin's global vision of
revolution.
