A rigorous work of political and historical analysis, Marx, Engels and National Movements examines how Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels conceptualised nationalism and national self-determination within the framework of their revolutionary socialist theory. Ian Cummins argues that the two thinkers held complex, often contradictory positions on national struggles, shaped by their strategic judgements about which movements advanced or hindered the cause of international proletarian revolution. The book draws on a wide range of primary sources — letters, articles, and political writings — to trace how Marx and Engels assessed specific national questions in Poland, Ireland, and other regions undergoing upheaval in the nineteenth century. Written with scholarly precision, it presents an authoritative contribution to Marxist studies and the broader intellectual history of nationalism and class politics.
