Crisis Of The Colonial System - National Liberation Struggle Of The Peoples Of East Asia
Reports Presented in 1949 to the Pacific Institute of the Academy of Sciences, U.S.S.R.
Bombay, PEOPLE’S PUBLISHING HOUSE, LTD.,
The postwar years have seen a mighty revolutionary upsurge in Asia. The once backward and submissive people are today rising to break their change of age-long slavery. They refuse to live in the old way. The imperialists are unable to rule in the old way. There is a crisis in the colonial system.
The imperialists say that the crisis has been “engineered by the Communists”—but this view is not accepted by many who hold that the refusal of the imperialists to quit their colonies is the main cause of the crisis.
This volume contains a series of reports presented by leading Soviet writers to the 1949 session of the Pacific Institute, Academy of Sciences, USSR. These reports give an analysis of the colonial crisis from the Marxist point of view, and show why liberation of the colonial peoples is essential for freedom and peace of the world.
First printed in India: April 1951
