In this fantastic episode of Guerrilla History, bring on Gabriel Rockhill to discuss the landmark new English translation of the legendary Domenico Losurdo's Western Marxism: How it was Born, How it Died, How it can be Reborn, freshly out from Monthly Review Press. This critical work acts as a trenchant critique of the Western left intelligentsia, showing how it is rooted in the political economy of imperialism. The conversation we have surrounding this is deep, generative, and thought provoking, so be sure to listen closely!
In addition to reading Western Marxism, Gabriel also recommended the book Let Me Speak! Testimony of Domitila, A Woman of the Bolivian Mines, which is also available from Monthly Review Press. Check it out!
