Third Camp Socialism

Beschreibung:

Neuware - Third Camp Socialism collects Phyllis and Julius Jacobson's major writings on civil rights, Stalinism, the Cold War, and the New York Intellectuals. It makes a powerful case for revisiting the Jacobsons' contributions to socialist thought. The Jacobsons advanced a militant, small-d democratic perspective on the landmark events of their era, from the New Deal and World War II to sixties protests and the War on Terror. Today, they are best remembered for founding New Politics and defending a third camp perspective that resists capitalism as well as all varieties of 'progressive' authoritarianism.
