{"product_id":"solidarnoc-maciej-zurowski-9789004690158","title":"Solidarno\u0026#347;c: A New Perspective on the Workers' Revolution and the Intellectual Opposition","description":"This high-profile and award-winning work shows the organic working-class character of the Polish Solidarnośc revolution of 1980-81 and thus debunks the canonical idea that the movement was orchestrated primarily by intellectuals from the democratic opposition, who brought consciousness to the workers 'from the outside'. Siermiński traces the origins of the Polish revolution to the self-activity and self-organisation developed by the Polish working class during earlier protests, strikes, and occupations. The author convincingly demonstrates that Solidarnośc was driven by the working class's own aims, experiences and revolutionary instinct--often in direct opposition to the efforts of intellectuals to contain its radicalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maciej Zurowski,Michal Siermiński\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004690158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004690158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 0.94d","brand":"Maciej Zurowski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623517401343,"sku":"9789004690158","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solidarnoc-maciej-zurowski-9789004690158","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
