<p><i>"A piece of original scholarship on a topic of great importance by one of the most profound and scholarly thinkers in the American academy! Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of communism but also for advanced students and professors concerned with the methodological problems that arise in writing any kind of history."</i><br />—<b>Bertell Ollman</b>, Department of Politics, New York University and author of <i>Dance of the Dialectic: Steps in Marx's Method</i></p>

A major reorientation of scholarly thought about communism and contemporary social movements
Examines the methods, controversies and difficulties involved in writing the history of communism. This book develops the idea of history as an immanent feature of human activities. It offers a distinctive approach to the connections between social theory, criticism, and historiography and to what is "social" about "social movements."
