About The Book
"Contemporary Trotskyism" explores the evolution, influence, and limitations of the Trotskyist movement, focusing specifically on the British Trotskyist experience from the 1970s to the present day. The book argues that to understand the resilience of Trotskyist groups, they must be analyzed as a mix of political parties, sects, and social movements. These elements contribute to the distinct characteristics of Trotskyist organizations, including their high membership turnover, ideological rigidity, and leadership dynamics.
Through archival research and interviews with key activists, the book offers an in-depth exploration of Trotskyist groups' involvement in various social movements, including trade unions, student unions, and anti-war, anti-racist, and anti-fascist movements. Despite their active participation in civil society, Trotskyist organizations have not achieved significant political success in terms of elections. This comprehensive study is crucial for understanding contemporary British political history, especially for those interested in the far left, social movements, and Trotskyist theory.
