Notes from the End of History: A Memoir of the Left in Wales: A Memoir of the Left of History - Brossura
Sinossi
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was widely believed that Marxists would be all but extinct by the year 2000. Humanity, wrote Francis Fukuyama, had come to the "end of history." All thoughts of finding an alternative to capitalism could be forgotten. Such thinking was wide of the mark. So why did so many people retain a faith in Marxism after the disappearance of "actually existing socialism"? Set largely in Wales but ranging widely across the recent history of the British left, Philip Bounds&;s memoir evokes an age in which Marxism faltered, came close to dying, but made a dramatic recovery. It sheds new light on many of the most important political and cultural events of the 1980s and 1990s. It is a serious book, written with wit and humor.
