Revolutionary and Anti-Imperialist Writings

'Combines imaginative audacity with intellectual rigour .... and reminds us that Connolly is still our contemporary' Declan Kiberd, University of Notre Dame

'Confirms Connolly's continuing relevance as an indispensable shaper of modern Irish nationalism and an internationalist and anti-colonial thinker whose work anticipated figures like Frantz Fanon and CLR James. This book is an invaluable resource for the history of anti-colonialism and socialism and their continuing lessons for the present' David Lloyd, University of California, Riverside

James Connolly, the greatest Marxist and socialist thinker, organiser and leader Ireland ever produced, was also a great internationalist and anti-imperialist writer and campaigner. This wide-ranging anthology features an introduction which provides background to Connolly's life, career, and influences; and which contextualizes his work both in Ireland and internationally. 

The writing collected here is a vital and inspiring resource for students, scholars and activists seeking to understand the tumultuous history of early-twentieth century Ireland in both its local and imperial contexts, and looking for the tools to understand the inequities of our globalised world today.
