A rigorous work of political and historical scholarship, Marx, Engels and National Movements examines how Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels theorised and responded to the rise of nationalism and national liberation struggles throughout the nineteenth century. Ian Cummins meticulously reconstructs the intellectual frameworks the two thinkers applied to specific national questions — from Poland and Ireland to the Slavic peoples — revealing the tensions and contradictions inherent in their positions. The work argues that Marx and Engels were far from consistent in their assessments, often subordinating national self-determination to broader strategic calculations about the advancement of socialist revolution. Written in a measured and analytical tone, this study illuminates a frequently overlooked dimension of Marxist thought, offering an indispensable resource for students of political theory, history, and ideology.
