The "A brief insight" series, beautifully printed and bound, offer extended essays on a substantial subject, written by specialists, but accessible to the undergraduate student or general reader, and serving as an in-depth introduction to the field's main questions and characteristics, using carefully chosen examples as illustration. In this volume, Newman (London Metropolitan U., the UK) presents a fascinating and topical discussion of socialism, its history, main protagonists, the rise and decline of various movements, socialism in Cuba, in Sweden, and its presence in feminism, environmentalism, and other current political movements and philosophies. A thorough, annotated bibliography is included. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - SterlingFrom Cuban communism and Swedish social democracy to the New Left, Michael Newman explains socialism-the social, economic, and philosophical juggernaut of the past century. Taking an international perspective, Newman examines standard socialist conventions and evolution from 19th-century industrial towns, while also defining modern socialism. He includes recent conceptualizations such as the feminist and Green movements, and uses this plethora of information to forecast socialism's trajectory into the future.
