Capital : Volume 1: A Critique of Political Economy (Penguin Classics): (05 May 1992)Capital, one of Marx's major and most influential works, was the product of thirty years close study of the capitalist mode of production in England, the most advanced industrial society of his day. This new translation of Volume One, the only volume to be completed and edited by Marx himself, avoids some of the mistakes that have marred earlier versions and seeks to do justice to the literary qualities of the work. The introduction is by Ernest Mandel, author of Late Capitalism, one of the only comprehensive attempts to develop the theoretical legacy of Capital.

Italian Communism in Crisis: A Study in Exit, Voice and Loyalty: Party Politics, Vol. 2, No. 1. (1 January 1996), pp. 55-75.Achille Occhetto's proposal to transform the Italian Communist Party (PCI) into a postcommunist leftist party provides an opportunity to test Hirschman's theory of organizational loyalty. Party members were given the choices of remaining loyal to a reconstituted party, voicing approval or disapproval over this proposal, or exiting the party. The hypotheses that exit and voice varied together and that a particular kind of loyalty inhibited exist were tested using data from two party congressi di sezioni. The results clearly show exit from the party by `hardline' communists and to a Refounded Communist Party (RC). Additional tests of the relationship between the PCI and RC, as well as Italian election data, corroborate these findings and Hirschman's model. 10.1177/135406 8896002001003

'Unemployment Revolutionizes the Working Class': Le Cri Des Chomeurs, French Communists and the Birth of the Movement of the Unemployed in France, 1931-1932: French History, Vol. 16, No. 4. (1 December 2002), pp. 441-468.Despit e the weight of conventional wisdom, the French movement of the unemployed of December-Janua ry 1997-8 had a significant and underestimated historical forebear. Neglected evidence for this predecessor can be found in the archives of the Parti Communiste Francais (PCF) and the Confederation Generale du Travail Unitaire (CGTU) that have been available now for over a decade and, most importantly, in the overlooked newspapers of the unemployed held in the National Library as well as Ministry of Labour and Interior files at the National Archives. This article examines the birth of that movement in Paris in 1931 and 1932 and, in particular, the role of its newspaper, Le Cri des Chomeurs. The period of economic crisis seemed to constitute a propitious moment for PCF implantation. In 1931 and 1932 two factors - the Communist International' s emphasis on work amongst the jobless and two phases of rapidly increasing unemployment - combined to produce an ideal moment for the establishment of an effective organization among the French unemployed comparable to that in other countries. Ultimately, in part because of missed opportunities in 1931 and 1932, the PCF was unable to create a genuine national movement of the unemployed in France. 10.1093/fh/16. 4.441

A Tibetan Revolutionary : The Political Life and Times of Bapa Phuntso Wangye: (01 June 2004)This is the as-told-to political autobiography of Phuntso Wangye (Phunwang), one of the most important Tibetan revolutionary figures of the twentieth century. Phunwang began his activism in school, where he founded a secret Tibetan Communist Party. He was expelled in 1940, and for the next nine years he worked to organize a guerrilla uprising against the Chinese who controlled his homeland. In 1949, he merged his Tibetan Communist Party with Mao's Chinese Communist Party. He played an important role in the party's administrative organization in Lhasa and was the translator for the young Dalai Lama during his famous 1954-55 meetings with Mao Zedong. In the 1950s, Phunwang was the highest-rankin g Tibetan official within the Communist Party in Tibet. Though he was fluent in Chinese, comfortable with Chinese culture, and devoted to socialism and the Communist Party, Phunwang's deep commitment to the welfare of Tibetans made him suspect to powerful Han colleagues. In 1958 he was secretly detained; three years later, he was imprisoned in solitary confinement in Beijing's equivalent of the Bastille for the next eighteen years. Informed by vivid firsthand accounts of the relations between the Dalai Lama, the Nationalist Chinese government, and the People's Republic of China, this absorbing chronicle illuminates one of the world's most tragic and dangerous ethnic conflicts at the same time that it relates the fascinating details of a stormy life spent in the quest for a new Tibet.

The Sources for Gramsci's Concept of Hegemony: Rethinking Marxism, Vol. 20, No. 2. (2008), pp. 201-215.This article attempts to single out key sources, avoiding any unilateral attribution, for the concept of hegemony as developed by Antonio Gramsci throughout the entire course of his prison writings. Among these sources one may point to the well-establish ed (albeit usually ignored) use of the term by Italian socialists when Gramsci was a young journalist. Later, when he was a member of the Comintern Executive in Moscow (1922?3), the term circulated freely among leading Bolsheviks (Lenin included), as Bukharin confirms explicitly, and shortly afterward began to appear in Gramsci's letters and other writings. Major inputs, as seen from the Prison Notebooks, also stem from Benedetto Croce and from various aspects of Machiavelli, including language. Gramsci's university linguistics studies also proved important, with the questions of linguistic substrata (which foreshadow later sociolinguisti c notions) and the dialect/nation al language relation being crucial. Overriding all, however, is Gramsci's reading of the concrete situation.
