Readers of Historical Materialism may be interested in the publication of Selected Writings of Raya Dunayevskaya Russia: From Proletarian Revolution to State-Capitalist Counter-Revolution by Brill in their Critical Social Science series.
Raya Dunayevskaya, philosopher of Marxist-Humanism, was a secretary to Leon Trotsky in exile in Mexico. She developed a theory of sate-capitalism with regard to Russia and as a world-stage of capitalism in the 1940s. In her development from state-capitalist theory to the philosophy of Marxist-Humanism, she translated into English and extensively commented upon essays from Marx’s 1844 Economic-Manuscripts and Lenin’s Philosophic Notebooks on Hegel’s Science of Logic.
For more than four decades Dunayevskaya wrote on the Revolution and its aftermath. Among the major themes in this comprehensive collection of writings: Lenin’s philosophic preparation for revolution; What happens after the revolution?; Russia’s transformation into a state-capitalist society; State-capitalism as a global phenomenon; Marxist-Humanism as a philosophic-practical-organizational body of ideas
