ISBN: 1-58367-086-6 (pbk) 368 pages Ralph Miliband: And the Politics of the New Left by Michael Newman This biography shows that Miliband’s writings were just part of the wider project to which he devoted himself through teaching, speaking, political engagement, and correspondence with intellectuals across the world. For his lifelong aim was to help build a form of socialism which would avoid the dictatorship of the Soviet bloc and the timidity of social democracy. Based on exclusive access to his extensive personal papers, and supplemented by numerous interviews, this book recounts the life and thought of one of the major figures of the international New Left. While concentrating on Miliband himself, it elucidates the dilemmas of democratic Marxists from the Second World War until after the collapse of Communism, and the continuing relevance of this strand of thought in the twenty-first century.
