A stirring collection of James Connolly's most important speeches and writing.
James Connolly fut un éminent leader socialiste irlandais et théoricien marxiste. Malgré ses origines à Édimbourg, en Écosse, il entretint un lien profond avec son héritage irlandais et joua des rôles importants dans la politique écossaise et américaine. Ses contributions intellectuelles en firent un penseur marxiste de premier plan de son époque. L'engagement indéfectible de Connolly envers ses principes conduisit finalement à son exécution suite à l'Insurrection de Pâques de 1916.

In this influential work, socialist leader James Connolly examines the history of Ireland through a lens of class struggle. He argues that Irish workers must unite across religious and political divisions to overthrow their capitalist oppressors and gain true independence. Connolly's writing remains relevant today as Ireland continues to grapple with issues of inequality and social justice.

Focusing on economic independence, James Connolly's work presents a revolutionary strategy for workers to reclaim industries from the ruling class. He argues that the subjugation of Ireland stems from the oppressed's financial dependence on their oppressors. By merging the concerns of the Irish Nation with the working class, Connolly envisions a policy fostering cooperation that can ignite self-determination. This synergy aims to inspire a renewed sense of freedom, optimism, and purpose among the Irish people.
