| Notes | This books tells the story of an idea-radical, beautiful, bruised. It spans the rise of socialist idealism to the rumbles of revolution, from the bastions of Bengal and Kerala to the margins where today's Left must reimagine itself or risk irrelevance. It doesn't just look back-it asks hard questions of the present. Has the Left lost it language? Can it still speak to a generation wired into individualism? Or is there yet a stirring beneath the surface-a pulse, a whisper, a movement waiting to be reborn? [from the inside flap of the cover] |
