Issue 13 of this twice-yearly journal. It explores and assesses the
past of the socialist movement and broader contextual processes.
Topics include Wollstonecroft's daughters (Clarissa Campbell Orr),
shop floor citizens (James Hinton), and class and politics in
Keighley 1880-1914 (David James).
This is the history of the world, from the origins of the Cosmos to
the present day, seen through three major narratives: work, sex and
power - the forces that have done more than any other to shape the
world as we see it now. It expertly explores the foundations of our
developing society by showing how these grand themes have recurred
throughout the various phases of global history. From communities
of Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers, through feudalism and onto the
capitalistic machine-civilisation of recent centuries, Willie
Thompson takes us on a journey that is fundamentally opposed to
mainstream histories which concentrate on monarchs, politicians and
military commanders. At the centre of this book lies the
interaction between humans and their environment. By exploring
history in this way, it reveals a simple yet powerful materialist
understanding of how we got to where we are today, and opens a door
to a different reading of our world.

This journal, published twice yearly, explores and assesses the
past of the socialist movement and the broader processes in
relation to it, both for a historical understanding, and as a
contribution to the movement's development and future. This issue
considers America at the millennium.
This book provides a history of political ideologies during the
period famously described by Eric Hobsbawn as "The Age of Extremes"
-- from the First World War to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
"Ideologies in the Age of Extremes" introduces the key ideologies
of the age; liberalism, conservatism, communism, and fascism.Willie
Thompson identifies the political influence of mass movements as a
key feature. He uses a powerful approach that considers the
different ideologies in relation to each other. This allows him to
show that they often emerged from a common root or merged into a
common future, stealing each other's clothes and reinventing
themselves as the stark opposite of a competing ideology. This
sophisticated yet accessible analysis will be of great interest to
students of 20th century history and political theory.
