An Anthology in 2 Volumes. Edited by Armand Mattelart and Seth Siegelaub. “Communication and Class Struggle, a two-volume work, is the first general marxist anthology of writings on communications, information and culture. Its purpose is to analyse the relationship between the practice and theory of communication and their development within the context of class struggle. Armand Mattelart and Seth Siegelaub, the editors, have selected more than 120 essential marxist and progressive texts originating in over 50 countries and written since the mid-nineteenth century to explain three interrelated phenomena: (1) how basic social, economic and cultural processes condition communication; (2) how bourgeois communication practice and theory have developed as part of the capitalist mode of production; and (3) how in the struggle against exploitation and oppression, the popular and working classes have developed their own communication practice and theory, and a new, liberated mode of communication, culture and daily life.” Published on Seth Sieglaub’s imprint International General/IMMRC.
