[Marxism] Marx Myths & Legends

[Rob Lucas <rlucas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"Marx Myths & Legends" is now launched at http://marxmyths.org/

The site currently includes 17 articles by 15 authors:

Christopher J. Arthur, Terrell Carver, Paresh Chattopadhyay, Harry
Cleaver, John Holloway, Joseph McCarney, Humphrey McQueen, Cyril Smith,
Peter Stillman, Francis Wheen and Lawrence Wilde, have contributed
articles, while works by Hal Draper, Zbigniew Jordan and Maximilien
Rubel have been reproduced with permission.

Marx Myths & Legends is a free access online project that attempts to
contribute to a reinvigoration of Marx scholarship by addressing the
multiple areas of distortion and misinterpretation that surround Karl
Marx's life and work on both academic and more general levels. Each
author addresses themselves to what they regard as one common
misconception or myth about Karl Marx and clarifies the issue with
scholarly thoroughness. Rather than attempting to present a singular
vision of the "true Marx" the aims of the project are primarily to call
into question received understandings and provide a space for discussion
of interpretive issues. Visitors to the site are invited to add
rejoinders to any of the articles, or contribute more informally to the
blog. Marx Myths & Legends will be an ongoing project with further texts
added gradually to cover further areas of Marx "mythology" as well as
areas of debate.
