About The Book:
What is culture? Why does the culture of the masses take certain forms? What role does culture play in social transformation? What is revolutionary art?
The need to engage with theoretical questions is greater today than ever before. Dark times are upon us. The enemies of the People strut about triumphantly the war against them will be won in the economic and political sphere, of course, but it cannot be won unless the forces of progress win the struggle over the minds of men.
The sun is setting on a century of revolutions. But the questions that the century threw up are not going to disappear in a hurry; moreover. New problems are already demanding in our engagement. This selection of writings form the twentieth century will, it is hoped be of some use in negotiating the slippery ground of theory, and to evolve a radical art practice that will enrich the revitalized revolutionary struggles of the century to birth.
