Its congresses drew delegates from across the globe, and its major victories-like the eight-hour work day-have long outlasted the organization itself.\u003cbr\u003e captures the International's vibrancy and gives a snapshot of its strengths, weaknesses, and contradictions. Socialist militants turned to the Second International to deliberate on how best to combat the latest deprivations and excesses of capitalism, which was stretching beyond national boundaries for the first time. These new issues and the debates about how to respond to them-surging immigration; what to say about colonialism; how to relate to burgeoning struggles for women's rights; the drive to intern-imperialist war-remain deeply contested over a hundred years later.\u003cbr\u003eoffers a rounded view of the Second International and its legacy, showing it to be a living, breathing movement with crucial insights for contemporary radicals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47922417827998,"sku":"ING-9781642599817","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781642599817.jpg?v=1782890544","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781642599817","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
