Description
Class War: A Literary History charts the global class struggle through revolutionary combat, tracing its history from the Haitian Revolution to Black Lives Matter. Mark Steven surveys literature and politics to reveal how solidarity flourishes in times of conflict, exploring works by Shelley, Byron, Zola, London, Fanon, Guevara, Shakur, and others. The book traverses industrial battles, guerrilla insurgencies, anticolonial resistance, and large-scale combat operations against capitalism's regimes. In an age of economic crisis, ecological catastrophe, and planetary unrest, Steven tells the stories of those whose actions will guide future militants toward a revolutionary horizon. Through its narrative that spans over two centuries and the globe, Class War offers a vivid history of class war, shedding light on the interplay between military action and politics.
