The book situates current globalisation of the third world alongside the early pangs of worker struggles across Europe in 19th century, so it’s ideal to understand the impact of classical radical ideas on the contemporary.
IT IS NOT ESSENTIAL TO HAVE READ THIS TO PARTICIPATE.
The book in its entirety is worth discussing but the intention is to deal with the early chapters due to time restraints, so we will be looking at
1. 'Rise like lions' – China/Peterloo Massacre
2. 'Everything connected with beauty' – India/Lyon Silk Weavers Revolt
3. 'This is the dawn...' - Nigeria/Paris Commune
7. 'Totally ignorant labourers' – India/Shanghai commune
