“Apart from their original purposes, [trade unions] must now learn to act deliberately as organizing centers of the working class in the broad interest of its complete emancipation.”

Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power
By Jack Barnes
Price: $20
Also available in Spanish, French
The foundations for the explosive rise of the Black liberation struggle in the US beginning in the mid-1950s were laid by the massive migration of Blacks from the rural South to cities and factories across the continent. Malcolm X emerged from this rising struggle as its outstanding single leader.
Drawing lessons from 150 years 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.
