| Iran Daily Serializes 'Teamster Rebellion' |
The Tehran daily Donyay-e-Eqtesad (The World of Economics) has been serializing the Farsi translation of Teamster Rebellion, which is published in Iran by Talaye Porsoo Publications. Teamster Rebellion, published in English, Spanish, and Swedish by Pathfinder, recounts the story of the militant 1934 strikes in Minneapolis, Minnesota that led to the transformation of the labor movement in the upper Midwest of the United States. Author Farrell Dobbs was a central leader of the strikes.
Sold in newsstands around the country, Donyay-e-Eqtesad introduced the series on August 8: “[Teamster Rebellion is] a chapter in the history of unions in the United States written by Farrell Dobbs, an American communist. The book is published by Talaye Porsoo Publications and is devoted to the struggles of American workers.” Each installment includes a photo from the book.

TINN News (Transportation Industry News Network), another Farsi journal, is also serializing the book.
Two publishing houses in Iran—Golâzin and Talaye Porsoo—now publish Farsi translations of thirty-two Pathfinder titles. Over the last decade, more than 60,000 copies have been sold in Iran and to Farsi speakers in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries. Both publishers have noted a marked increase in sales of these books over the last two years.
