The Second Edition interprets the \u003cem\u003eManifesto\u003c\/em\u003e in relation to the dominance of globalized financial capital, socialist feminist critique, postmodernism, and the fragmentation\/transformation of the global working class in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The volume includes a carefully annotated text of the \u003cem\u003eCommunist Manifesto\u003c\/em\u003e, the editor's historical and philosophical introduction, and a chronology of historical events surrounding publication of the \u003cem\u003eManifesto\u003c\/em\u003e. Fifteen seminal interpretations--eight of them new to the Second Edition--have been collected. New contributions include Lucien Laurat on the \u003cem\u003eManifesto's\u003c\/em\u003e sociological standpoint as adapted to the modernization of the mid-twentieth century; Wendy Lynne Lee's assessment of the \u003cem\u003eManifesto's\u003c\/em\u003e key concepts, metaphors, and arguments from a radical-feminist perspective; the article that served as the basis for \u003cem\u003eEmpire\u003c\/em\u003e, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's important postmodernist adaptation of the \u003cem\u003eManifesto\u003c\/em\u003e for twenty-first century conditions; and noteworthy responses to Hardt and Negri's arguments by Slavoj Zizek and by Taki Fotopoulos and Alexandros Gezerlis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A Selected Bibliography and Index are also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Marx\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393935604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393935608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
