World Bolshevism
Following Martov’s untimely death in 1923, a Russian-language edition of one of his books, World Bolshevism, was published. But it was only in 2000, after decades of extreme censorship, that parts of the book were legally published in Russia. In English, this work has reached the public in pieces, often as a part of pamphlets with limited circulation. This edition, which includes an introduct…

Speaking Power to Truth Digital Discourse and the Public Intellectual
Casting doubt on the assertion that online discourse, with its proliferation of voices, will somehow yield collective wisdom, Speaking Power to Truth raises concerns that this wealth of digitally enabled commentary is, in fact, too often bereft of the hallmarks of intellectual discourse: an epistemological framework and the provision of evidence to substantiate claims. Instead, the pursuit of t…

Romancing the Revolution The Myth of Soviet Democracy and the British Left
Romancing the Revolution uncovers the imprint of this myth on left-wing organizations and their publications, ranging from those that presented themselves as “British Bolsheviks”—the British Socialist party and The Call, the Socialist Labour party’s The Socialist, Sylvia Pankhurst’s Workers’ Dreadnought—to the much more equivocal Labour Leader and The New Statesmen.
