Interviews with 30 converts from the 1930s and 1940s are a component of Barry Chevanne’s book, a look into the origins and practices of Rastafarianism. From the direct accounts of these early members, he is able to reconstruct pivotal episodes in Rastafarian history to offer a look into a subgroup of Jamaican society whose beliefs took root in the social unrest of the 1930s. The little that most people know about Rastafarianism has come through the Jamaican music, Reggae, which resonates with the contemporary social and political struggle of the poverty-stricken cities of Trenchtown and

First published in 1987, Vincent Geoghegan’s work sees utopiansim as both valuable and widespread, issuing forth in a host of forms, from the classical utopia and political ideology to fashion and architecture. In an original and surprising argument he shows that Marxism has been unable to do without a utopian dimension, but for various reasons - and with baleful consequences - it has often resisted acknowledging this fact. Clear and graceful in style, the book provides a jargon-free account of the evolution if modern Marxism.

This dictionary provides ammunition for those who disagree with the early twentieth-first century orthodoxy that ’There is no alternative to free market liberalism and managerialism’. Using hundreds of entries and cross-references, it proves that there are many alternatives to the way that we currently organize ourselves. These alternatives could be expressed as fictional utopias, they could be excavated from the past, or they could be described in terms of the contemporary politics of anti-corporate protest, environmentalism, feminism and localism. Part reference work, part sourc

After visiting Russia in 1921, the journalist Lincoln Steffens famously declared, "I have seen the future, and it works." Steffens referred to the social experiment of technological utopianism he found in the Soviet Union, where subway cars and farm tractors would carry the worker and peasant -- figuratively and literally -- into the twentieth century. Believing that socialism and technology together created a brave new world, Boleslaw Bierut of Poland and Kim Il Sung of North Korea -- and other leaders -- joined Russia’s Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky in embracing big technology with a
