A Documentary Snapshot of the Revolutionary Age
Published in 1969 and edited by Tariq Ali, The New Revolutionaries captures the ideas, movements, and political upheavals that defined the international radical left during one of the twentieth century’s most turbulent periods.
Compiled in the wake of the global protests and revolutionary movements of 1968, this volume brings together contemporary writings, political statements, and firsthand perspectives from activists and thinkers across several continents. Contributors include Régis Debray, Ernest Mandel, Eldridge Cleaver, Stokely Carmichael, Fidel Castro, and others.
Its subjects range from Black Power and anti-colonial struggles to student movements in Japan, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, revolutionary socialism in Europe, and political struggles in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
This is more than a retrospective history. It is a primary-source window into how revolutionary movements understood themselves at the time—their ambitions, ideologies, international connections, and competing visions for the future.
For collectors of political history, counterculture, radical literature, and twentieth-century social movements, this volume preserves a tangible piece of the intellectual atmosphere of 1969.
