Today's concerns--internationalism, education, the future of labor, the status of art, and ecological theory and practice--frame and inform her carefully researched restaging of the words and actions of individual Communards. This original analysis of an event and its centrifugal effects brings to life the workers in Paris who became revolutionaries, the significance they attributed to their struggle, and the elaboration and continuation of their thought in the encounters that transpired between the insurrection's survivors and supporters like Marx, Kropotkin, and William Morris. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Paris Commune was a laboratory of political invention, important simply and above all for, as Marx reminds us, its own \"working existence.\" \u003ci\u003eCommunal Luxury\u003c\/i\u003e allows readers to revisit the intricate workings of an extraordinary experiment.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKristin Ross\u003c\/b\u003e was born in State College, Pennsylvania in 1953.
