Encyclopedia of Marxism: Chronologies
Chronologies Index
Chronologies, which focus on dates, apparently isolated events, and the activities of leaders, are no substitute for an analysis of the forces at play in a society. But they can serve as "memory ticklers," useful notes for people working to mobilize support for the liberation struggles. – Southern Africa
