Description

The Dialectics of Liberation by David Cooper In 1967, a groundbreaking conference was held in London to discuss key social issues and explore the roots of social violence. Edited by David Cooper, this compilation brings together interventions from leading thinkers of the time, including Stokely Carmichael, Herbert Marcuse, R.D. Laing, Paul Sweezy, and others. The conference aimed to create genuine revolutionary momentum by fusing ideology and action on both individual and mass societal levels. Against a backdrop of rising student frustration, racism, class inequality, and environmental degradation, the congress sought to forge a forceful style of political activity that would shape the years to come. This collection captures the essence of the Dialectics of Liberation congress, offering a unique insight into the politics of dissent and the rise of radical movements in the decades that followed.
