"Is Marxism a reflection of the conceptual system it fights against, rather than a truly comprehensive approach to human history?

"Every once in a while there appears a book that . . . opens up new ways of inquiring into the ways of the world. ..."
""Peasant Wars of the Twentieth Century provides a good short course in the major popular revolutions of our century--in Russia, Mexico, China, Algeria, Cuba, and Viet Nam--not from the perspective of governments or parties or leaders, but from the perspective of the peasant peoples whose lives and ways of living were destroyed by the depredations of the imperial powers, including American imperial power."–New York Times Book Review"Eric ..."

Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and hi ..."

Responding to social-science notions of ideology that incorporate power but disregard the ways ideas ..."
