U.S. Trotskyism 1928-1965. Part I: Emergence -- Left Opposition in the United States is the first of a documentary trilogy on a revolutionary socialist split-off from the U.S. Communist Party, reflecting Leon Trotsky’s confrontation with Stalinism in the global Communist movement. Spanning 1928 to 1940, this volume surveys important U.S. labor struggles in the 1930s, early efforts to comprehend the so-called “Negro Question,” and substantial contributions to the study history and the development of Marxist theory. Also covered are confrontations and convergences with other currents on the Left, internal debates and splits among Trotskyists themselves, and repressive efforts by the U.S. government in the first Smith Act Trial. Scholars and activists will find much of interest in these primary sources.

The first 'American Exceptionalists' belonged to a left-wing current led by Jay Lovestone. Briefly in control of, then dramatically expelled from, the US Communist Party, they maintained an independent existence on the US Left from 1929 to 1940. Some became prominent in the labour and civil rights movements, while Will Herberg became a prominent Jewish theologian and an editor of the conservative National Review, and Bertram Wolfe worked as an anti-Communist ideologist with the US State Department. Lovestone himself collaborated with the CIA to help shape the Cold War foreign policy of the AFL-CIO. Yet earlier documents and articles from the Lovestone group provide rich information and remarkable insights on twentieth-century realities and radicalism.

U.S. Trotskyism 1928-1965. Part III: Resurgence: Uneven and Combined Development is the third of a documentary trilogy on a revolutionary socialist split-off from the U.S. Communist Party, reflecting Leon Trotsky’s confrontation with Stalinism in the global Communist movement. Spanning 1954 to 1965, this volume surveys the Cold War era, the civil rights and black liberation movements, the 'third wave' of feminism, and other social and cultural developments of the 1950s and 1960s. Documenting responses to a variety of anti-colonial and revolutionary insurgencies, the volume also surveys the crisis and decline of Stalinism. Attention is given to internal debates and splits, but also to the partial reunification of the international Trotskyist movement (the Fourth International), as well as substantial contributions to the study of history and the development of Marxist theory. Scholars and activists will find much of interest in these primary sources.

"Hoewel de Stevenskerk al 750 jaar het hart van Nijmegen is, was de geschiedenis van deze bijzondere kerk nog nooit uitgebreid beschreven. Tijdens de restauratie van 2013 tot 2015 kon grondig bouw- en kunsthistorisch onderzoek worden gedaan, met vele nieuwe inzichten als resultaat. De Stichting Stevenskerk en de gemeente Nijmegen gaven daarop opdracht tot een uitgebreide (bouw)geschiedenis van het grootste monument van de oudste stad van Nederland. Deze uitgave bevat niet alleen nieuwe inzichten in de bouwgeschiedenis, maar ook uitgebreide informatie over de bouwsculpturen, wandschilderingen en het interieur van de kerk. Daarnaast is er ruim aandacht voor de orgels. Wat de kerkelijke geschiedenis betreft, wordt in de eerste hoofdstukken het reilen en zeilen in de Middeleeuwen besproken en aansluitend de roerige jaren in de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw. De geschiedenis van het kerkelijk leven na de reductie belicht vooral de relatie tussen protestant en katholiek Nijmegen. En natuurlijk is er volop aandacht voor de wederopbouw van de kerk na de Tweede Wereldoorlog."--- Achterzijde omslag.
