Revolutionary Marxism in Spain, 1930-1937
Revolutionary Marxism in Spain, 1930-1937 examines the
impact of Trotsky's political thought upon those Spanish communists
who dissented from the 'general line' laid down by Moscow. It
explores the political ideas of leading POUM figures, Andreu Nin
and Joaquin Maurin, and their complex relationship with Trotsky.
The contention is that the POUM owed far more to Trotsky than many
of the party's historians care to admit. Drawing heavily upon
Spanish sources, the book seeks to present and explain the POUM's
political ideas in order to understand why the party adopted the
positions it did. The author engages with broader scholarly debates
around the role of the POUM in the Spanish Civil War and
Revolution, especially those surrounding the Popular Front.
