DESCRIPTION:Discussant : Faisal Devji (Balliol College)\n\nThe Paris Commu
 ne as world revolutionary event and laboratory for republican and socialis
 t ideas\n\nIn 1871 and over the years to follow\, the impact of the Paris 
 Commune was felt the world over. Concepts and practices developed there we
 re taken up in all corners of Europe and travelled as far afield as Mexico
  City and Algiers. Drawing on history\, anthropology\, and the sociology o
 f crises and revolutions\, Quentin Deluermoz follows the revolution from i
 ts origins on the Parisian street\, capturing the perspective of ordinary 
 men and women\, to examine the delicate question of its legacy.\n\nIn rece
 nt decades\, the Commune has been a touchstone for social and political st
 ruggles in France\, the United States\, Spain\, Mexico\, and the Syrian Ku
 rdish region of Rojava. This resurgence is rooted in twentieth-century ana
 rchist and communist history. It hearkens back to often forgotten meanings
  of socialism\, federalism\, and republicanism. Deluermoz recaptures the i
 ntensity of the ‘Commune moment’\, helping readers grasp its enduring 
 relevance for today.\n\nhttps://www.versobooks.com/products/2944-the-paris
