Description

An introduction and guide to this most contentious of modern social movements and ideologies, with 327 entries tracing its evolution from the early 19th century to the present. Unlike other general works on the subject, focus is on the democratic tradition of socialism rather than those elements which later became communism. Entries cover not just key thinkers, ideas, and political parties, but also education, women, literature, and policies, showing how socialism was sustained as a movement. Includes a glossary of terms and their origins, a chronology, a statistical appendix, and a substantial bibliography. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
