"This collection presents on of the first attempts to synthesize the specific problems, economic and political, of the transition to socialism in the context of underdevelopment and late twentieth century imperialism... [T]he essays discuss the heritage of Marxist theory, the politics of the construction of socialist democracy, the creative role of revolutionary ideology, the challenge of economic development, and the consequences of external economic and often military aggression. Inspired by the Nicaraguan experience, they place that experience in comparative and theoretical perspective, concentrating on the small, peripheral countries of the third world. Together the essays are a major contribution to the growing literature on transitional societies" -- From the back cover
