The book offers a new and fascinating account of this transnational organisation founded in 1919 by Lenin and Trotsky and dissolved by Stalin in 1943, telling the story through the eyes of the activists who became its professional revolutionaries. Studer follows such figures as Willi M nzenberg Mikhail Borodin M. N. Roy and Evelyn Trent Tina Modotti Agnes Smedley and many others less well - known as they are despatched to the successive political hotspots of the 1920s and 30s from revolutionary Berlin to Baku from Shanghai to Spain from Nazi Germany to Stalin's Moscow. It traces their journeys from revolutionary hope to accommodation defeat or death looking at questions of motivation and commitment agency and negotiation of life and love conflict and frustration. In doing so it reveals a forgotten Comintern the expression of a multi - dimensional revolutionary moment which attracted not only working - class but feminist anti - racist anti - colonial and anti - imperialist activists highlighting the role of women in the Comintern and the centrality of anti - colonialism to the Communist project. The book concludes with a reflection on the ultimate demise of a historically unique undertaking.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Travellers Of The World Revolution A Global History Of The Communist International\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Studer Brigitte\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781839768019\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 496 Pages, 2 X 8pp B\u0026amp;W Plate Sections\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 6\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Revolutionary Groups \u0026amp; Movements","brand":"Studer Brigitte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49625037340977,"sku":"IN-G-9781839768019","price":29.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781839768019.jpg?v=1724946610","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781839768019-travellers-of-the-world-revolution-a-global-history-of-the-communist-international","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
