Critical Thinking in Action: Excerpts from Political Writings and Correspondence

By Eugenio Colorni

The name of Eugenio Colorni is quite familiar among the many intellectuals who knew Albert Hirschman. This is not true, however, of his work. The reason for this is that while Albert often spoke about his brother-in-law and close friend and acknowledged his influence on his own thinking, until now Eugenio's work, with one notable exception, has not been translated into English. Recently, however, "A Colorni-Hirschman International Institute" has begun publishing excerpts in English as part of a yearly dossier, "Long is the Journey. . .," which is included on its website: www.colornihirschman.org. Building on this, Nicoletta Stame and I are now editing an initial sampling that reflects Eugenio's brilliance and ingenuity: a mini-anthology (which I hope will prove interesting and enjoyable) of texts taken mainly from a selection of Eugenio's political writings.
