Introducing the Encyclopedia of the American Left
The Encyclopedia of the American Left brings together scholarship on the history of left movements — socialist, communist, anarchist, and New Left — in the United States from the 1860s to the present. Thanks to generous support from the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and a grant from the Democratic Socialists of America Fund, Verso presents this new digital edition of the Encyclopedia, free and accessible to all.
