Malcolm X, Black Liberation,
and the Road to Workers Power
By Jack
Barnes
Price: $20
New! Now available in French
Also available in Spanish
“Don't start with Blacks as an oppressed nationality. Start with the vanguard place and weight of workers who are Black in broad proletarian-led social and political struggles in the United States. From the Civil War to today, the record is mind-boggling. It's the strength and resilience, not the oppression, that bowls you over.”—Jack Barnes
Malcolm X emerged from the the Black liberation struggle that opened in the mid-1950s as its outstanding single leader. He insisted that colossal movement was part of a worldwide clash “between those who want freedom, justice, and equality and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation.”
Drawing lessons from a century and a half of struggle, this book helps us understand why it is the revolutionary conquest of power by the working class that will make possible the final battle for Black freedom—and open the way to a world based not on exploitation, violence, and racism but human solidarity. A socialist world.
Includes four photo sections and over 130 photographs and drawings, author’s introduction, index, glossary.
“… A powerful and persuasive political testimony, enhanced with black-and-white photographs, a glossary, and an index.”—Midwest Book Review

The U.S.-led invasion of Cuba in April 1961 was defeated in 66 hours by militia battalions composed of worker and peasant volunteers, along with soldiers from the Cuban armed forces.

Lenin’s Final Fight and
La última lucha de Lenin
|
|
By V.I. Lenin
Price: $20
As capitalism in the twenty-first century enters its deepest economic and social crisis since the decades spanning the first and second imperialist world wars, programmatic and strategic matters in dispute in the communist workers movement in the early 1920s once again weigh heavily in prospects for the working class worldwide to advance along its historic line of march toward the conquest of power.
In 1922 and 1923, V.I. Lenin, central leader of the world’s first socialist revolution, waged what was to be his last political battle. At stake was whether that revolution would remain on the proletarian course that had brought workers and peasants in the former tsarist empire to power in October 1917—and laid the foundations for a truly worldwide revolutionary movement of toilers organizing to emulate the Bolsheviks’ example.
Lenin’s Final Fight brings together, for the first time, the reports, articles, and letters through which Lenin waged this political battle. Many were suppressed for decades, and some have never before appeared in English. Second edition includes new introduction by Jack Barnes and Steve Clark.

Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible?
A Necessary Debate
ByMary-Alice Waters
Price: $7
Also available in: Spanish,
French,
Farsi,
Swedish
In two talks, presented as part of a wide-ranging debate at the 2007 and 2008 Venezuela International Book Fairs, Mary-Alice Waters explains why a socialist revolution in the United States is possible. Revolutionary struggles by working people are inevitable. They will be initiated not by the toilers, but will be forced upon us by the crisis-driven assaults by the propertied classes on our conditions of life and labor. In growing solidarity and the emergence of a fighting vanguard of working people, the outlines of these coming class battles can be seen.

An Introduction to the Logic
of Marxism
By George
Novack
Price: $16
Readers Club price: $11.20
|
|
Autobiographical account by a leader of the October 1917 Russian revolution, the Soviet Red
Army, and the battle initiated by
Lenin against the Stalinist bureaucracy.

Marxism is dialectical, Novack explains. It considers all phenomena in their development, in
their transition from one state
to another. And it is materialist, explaining the world as matter in motion that exists prior
to and independently of human
consciousness.
