Daniel Bensad - From the Actuality of the Revolution to the Melancholic Wager

Daniel Bensaïd: From the Actuality of Revolution to the Melancholic Wager is the first systematic full-length study of Bensaïd’s renovation of Marxism. Bensaïd, a student leader during the May '68 revolt and founder of the Ligue communiste révolutionnaire (LCR), was an exemplar of a creative and open liberatory Marxism, leaving a vast oeuvre for a new generation of Marxists to explore.

Much of Bensaïd’s writing remains untranslated into English, and Roso’s volume offers a comprehensive critical overview of this towering thinker.
