The Dunayevskaya-Marcuse-Fromm Correspondence, 1954–1978: Dialogues on Hegel, Marx, and Critical Theory: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Dunayevskaya-Marcuse-Fromm Correspondence, 1954–1978: Dialogues on Hegel, Marx, and Critical Theory" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book presents for the first time the correspondence during the years 1954 to 1978 between the Marxist-Humanist and feminist philosopher Raya Dunayevskaya (1910-87) and two other noted thinkers, the Hegelian Marxist philosopher and social theorist Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979) and the psychologist and social critic Erich Fromm (1900-80), both of the latter members of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. In their introduction, editors Kevin B. Anderson and Russell Rockwell focus on the theoretical and political dialogues in these letters, which cover topics such as dialectical social theory, Marxist economics, socialist humanism, the structure and contradictions of modern capitalism, the history of Marxism and of the Frankfurt School, feminism and revolution, developments in the USSR, Cuba, and China, and emergence of the New Left of the 1960s. The editors extensive explanatory notes offer helpful background information, definitions of theoretical concepts, and source references. Among the thinkers discussed in the correspondence some of them quite critically-- are Karl Marx, G. W. F. Hegel, Rosa Luxemburg, Georg Lukcs, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, V. I. Lenin, Nikolai Bukharin, Sigmund Freud, Leon Trotsky, Mao Zedong, Daniel Bell, and Seymour Martin Lipset. As a whole, this volume shows the deeply Marxist and humanist concerns of these thinkers, each of whom had a lifelong concern with rethinking Marx and Hegel as the foundation for an analysis of capitalist modernity and its forces of opposition.

About the Authors
Editors Note
Copies of all of the letters of Raya Dunayevskaya to and from Herbert Marcuse that have been preserved are held by the Raya Dunayevskaya Collection, Wayne State University Library, Detroit, Michigan. Since Dunayevskayas letters to Marcuse are mainly her carbon copies, they do not always indicate the signature, especially when it was handwritten. For this reason, we have left many of these letters without a signature.
The Raya Dunayevskaya Collection also holds copies of most of the letters of Dunayevskaya to and from Erich Fromm that have been preserved. The Erich Fromm Archive, Tbingen, Germany, holds copies of additional letters of Dunayevskaya to and from Fromm that have been preserved.
Concerning the annotation of the correspondence: Our unsigned editors source notes and (occasional) textual clarifications are in square brackets in the text of the letters. Our other editors notes are in unsigned footnotes. Dunayevskayas name is placed before her own (occasional) footnotes to her letters.
Concerning the appendix: Authors footnotes are carried over from the originals without any special indication on our part; our editors notes are in brackets, either in the text or added to footnotes.
A few of our editors notes have been adapted from Dunayevskaya, The Power of Negativity , edited by Peter Hudis and Kevin B. Anderson (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2002), where several of Dunayevskayas letters to Marcuse and Fromm were first published.
