Description
China Miéville's brilliant reading of the modern world's most controversial and enduring political document, The Communist Manifesto, is a thought-provoking exploration of a system that still calls on us to build a new world. Written with diligence and a ruthlessly critical eye, this book sharpens our senses to contemporary internationalist movements from below. Published in 1848, the Manifesto remains a key touchstone for modern political debate, its apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system still highly contentious. China Miéville's imaginative take on Marx and his most haunting book is a strikingly original interpretation that haunts the ghosts of the past, sorcery, and creative destruction. This book is a testament to the enduring relevance of The Communist Manifesto, a work that continues to penetrate every corner of the globe, reducing every relationship to that of profit, and bursting asunder the old forms of production and politics.
