Thompson is a towering fi gure in the fi eld of labor history, \u003cbr\u003ebest known for his monumental and path-breaking work, The\u003cbr\u003eMaking of the English Working Class. But as this collection shows, \u003cbr\u003eThompson was much more than a historian: he was a dedicated\u003cbr\u003eeducator of workers, a brilliant polemicist, a skilled political theorist, \u003cbr\u003eand a tireless agitator for peace, against nuclear weapons, \u003cbr\u003eand for a rebirth of the socialist project. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays in this book, many of which are either out-of-print or\u003cbr\u003ediffi cult to obtain, were written between 1955 and 1963 during\u003cbr\u003eone of the most fertile periods of Thompson's intellectual and\u003cbr\u003epolitical life, when he wrote his two great works, The Making of\u003cbr\u003ethe English Working Class and William Morris: Romantic to Revolutionary.\u003cbr\u003eThey reveal Thompson's insistence on the vitality of a\u003cbr\u003ehumanistic and democratic socialism along with the value of utopian\u003cbr\u003ethinking in radical politics. Throughout, Thompson struggles\u003cbr\u003eto open a space independent of offi cial Communist Parties and\u003cbr\u003ereformist Social Democratic Parties, opposing them with a vision of\u003cbr\u003esocialism built from the bottom up. Editor Cal Winslow, who studied\u003cbr\u003ewith Thompson, provides context for the essays in a detailed\u003cbr\u003eintroduction and reminds us why this eloquent and inspiring voice\u003cbr\u003eremains so relevant to us today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10445519\"\u003eE.
