At the crossroads of socialist ideology and ecological thought, From Red to Green captures the intellectual evolution of one of East Germany's most provocative dissident thinkers, Rudolf Bahro, through a series of incisive interviews conducted by the editors of the New Left Review. Originally jailed in the GDR for his landmark critique of actually existing socialism, Bahro articulates a bold and controversial transition — abandoning orthodox Marxism in favour of a radical Green politics — presenting a challenge to both the Left and the environmental movement to reimagine their foundational assumptions. Translated by Gus Fagan and Richard Hurst, the dialogues chronicle Bahro's ideological journey with remarkable candour and intellectual rigour. This volume stands as a vital document of late twentieth-century radical thought, capturing a moment when the traditional boundaries between Red and Green politics were being forcefully contested. Bahro's arguments uncover the deep contradictions within industrial civilisation — capitalist and socialist alike — and his vision of an emancipatory ecological politics retains a striking urgency. For readers drawn to the history of dissent, political theory, or the enduring tension between revolution and reform, From Red to Green poses a question that remains unanswered: can humanity truly transform itself before it is too late?
