Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Resurrecting the legacy of one who maintained ‘Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for those who think differently,’ Bronner has written an admirable and pertinent book which contributes to debates among democratic socialists as to ‘the way forward.'”
—Irish Quarterly Review
“This small booklet is a useful and sympathetic synthesis of Rosa Luxemburg’s life and work, and their relevance for present-day politics. Her ideas on nationalism and internationalism, reform and revolution, imperialism and war, democracy and mass strike are aptly presented in a lively and non-academic way. . . . The greatest merit of the book is its partisan character; its decision to approach Rosa Luxemburg not as a closed chapter in the history of the Labor Movement, but as a source of inspiration for the present struggles, for a model of socialist democracy beyond bureaucracy and reformism, Stalin and-or Noske.”
—New German Critique
“Stephen Eric Bronner’s book attempts to set a great revolutionary’s thought in its historical context and also make the questions which she raised relevant to the concerns of the present. . . . Bronner’s valuable book [is] the accessible lead into Luxemburg’s enigmatic thinking and being which we have needed for some time.”
