Title: Social Class and Marxism
First published: March 1996
Description: In recent years historians and other social scientists have widely questioned the continued utility of social class - as historical relationship, as sociological category, as philosophical concept - and its enduring political significance. The fall of Stalinism in eastern Europe and social and political changes in the West have triggered off even more widespread and vociferous dismissals of Marxism.

The purposes of this collection of essays by six distinguished scholars are twofold: to offer a multi-disciplinary-based critique of the new revisionism and to demonstrate the continued vitality, relevance and promise of non-reductionist forms of class and Marxism. This book will be of great interest to students and teachers across the social sciences and humanities in Britain, Europe and the USA.
