Women in Cuba:
The Making of a Revolution
Within the Revolution
From Santiago de Cuba and the Rebel Army to the Birth of the Federation of Cuban Women
By Vilma Espín, Asela de los Santos, and Yolanda Ferrer
Special pre-publication price: $15
Price: $20
Also available in Spanish
The social revolution that in 1959 brought down the bloody Batista dictatorship began in the streets of cities like Santiago de Cuba and the Rebel Army’s liberated mountain zones of eastern Cuba. The unprecedented integration of women in the ranks and leadership of this struggle was a true measure of the revolutionary course it has followed to this day. Here, in firsthand accounts by women who helped make it, is the story of that revolution—and “the revolution within.” Introduction by Mary-Alice Waters.

The Cuban Five
Who they are
Why they were framed
Why they should be free
From the pages of the Militant
Price: $5
A selection of articles from the Militant newspaper on the fight to free Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González, and René González. The Cuban Five, as they have become known around the world, were convicted by the U.S. government on fabricated “conspiracy” charges and handed draconian sentences. They have remained in prison since their arrest in FBI raids in 1998.
Their “crime”? Monitoring the plans for action by violent counterrevolutionary Cuban-American groups that have a 50-year record of deadly attacks on Cuba and supporters of the Cuban Revolution—groups that operate from U.S. territory with Washington’s complicity.

New International no. 12
Capitalism’s Long Hot Winter Has Begun
By Jack Barnes
Price: $12
Also available in: French, Spanish, Farsi, Swedish, Greek, Arabic
Today’s accelerating global capitalist slump—the opening stages of what will be decades of economic, financial, and social convulsions and class battles—accompanies a continuation of the most far-reaching shift in Washington’s military policy and organization since the U.S. buildup toward World War II. Class-struggle-minded working people must face this historic turning point for imperialism, and draw satisfaction from being “in their face” as we chart a revolutionary course to confront it.

Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible?
A Necessary Debate
By Mary-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.
