Reader reviews for The Historiography of Communism

From the publisher

In this fresh appraisal of communism and anti-communism, with an emphasis on the American case, respected scholar Michael E. Brown examines the methods, controversies and difficulties involved in writing the history of communism. Arguing that one important way of understanding communismOCoother than as a concrete political or ideological forceOCois as an expression of an essentially reflexive aspect of society that typically manifests itself in social movements. In this regard, Brown understands the history of communism as part of the history of society. Examining works by E. P. Thompson, Karl Marx, and Pierre Clastres, Brown develops the idea of history as an immanent feature of human activities. Taken together, the essays in this bookOCowritten over a period of 20 yearsOCooffer a distinctive approach to the connections between social theory, criticism, and historiography and to what is OC socialOCO about OC social movements.OCO
