In doing so, he reveals the lessons that can be drawn from his historical enquiry for future struggles' -- Michael Lebowitz, author of 'The Socialist Alternative: Real Human Development' 'In contrast to the dominant view of Socialist Yugoslavia as historical error or anomaly, Kirn presents the Yugoslav socialist project as an actual and historical possibility. In a period dominated by neoliberal historical revisionism but also marked by new anticapitalist aspirations, this is a very welcome contribution' -- Panagiotis Sotiris, Hellenic Open University 'Gal Kirn's recovery of the courageous achievements of Yugoslav partisans is not only a crucial blow against the anticommunism of authoritarian historical revisionists. It is more importantly a generator of communist enthusiasm. By drawing out the unique achievements of the People's Liberation Struggle, self-management, and the Non-Aligned Movement, Kirn lets us see how another world was becoming possible, and believe in that world again' -- Jodi Dean, author of 'Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging' Author InformationGal Kirn is an open topic fellow at TU Dresden.
