Reviews
-
[Jasper's work is] sobering and optimistic at once
-
Bernes is working with a remarkably sophisticated and resilient new critical model which will doubtless have a lot of traction in the years ahead
, Affirmations: Of the Modern -
Bernes' wonderfully detailed historical analyses of workers' councils and communes serves as the basis for important and provocative proposals for the tasks of communist thought and action today.
-
In this extraordinary study into revolutionary histories and possibilities, Jasper Bernes does not let his reader off lightly. He pushes us to think hard alongside him about the logics and activities of collective emancipation—in this task, we couldn't ask for a more brilliant guide than Bernes. We need this book now, and will continue to need it long into the future.
-
A rescue project for the radical imagination, Bernes draws together a new lineage of communist thought and action that will leave readers raring to go make a new world.
