Long Reads: The Hidden Rosa Luxemburg w/ Peter Hudis

<p>More than a century after her death in 1919, Rosa Luxemburg is unquestionably one of the most celebrated Marxist thinkers. But until very recently, most of her work had never appeared in English translation. Verso Books and the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation have set out to fill the gap by publishing her collected works. Peter Hudis, a professor of philosophy and humanities at Oakton Community College and the author of several books, including <em>Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Barricades</em>, is one of the editors who’s been working on that project.</p><br /><p>Peter joins <em>Long Reads</em> to discuss Luxemburg's collected works.
