The Study of Man: Marxism & the Colonial Revolt
- Abstract
The Western world is facing two great revolutionary currents-the Marxist onslaught, represented chiefly by Soviet and Chinese Communism, and the colonial revolt, aimed at throwing off Western control where it still exists in non-Western areas.
