| Pathfinder is upgrading its books to better, easier-to-use editions
|
| |
Pathfinder is making substantial improvements to its 400-plus titles. Our aim is to make them more useful to working people and youth looking for the political ideas and historical experience they need to fight effectively in today’s world. We will be adding indexes to books that have not had them before, including to the New International, a magazine of Marxist politics and theory distributed by Pathfinder. Photo sections, illustrations, and maps that bring to life events taken up in the books are being expanded. Type size is larger, making the books easier to read. Many will feature new introductions, glossaries, and chronologies that help place events and individuals in historical context. New International contributing editor Jack Barnes explained the importance of these improvements. “Every issue of New International,” he wrote, “contains political and theoretical articles that are challenging to read and absorb.…Everything each of us strives to do…in every book we produce is to the same end: to get rid of obstacles to having fighting workers and farmers, and young attracted to their struggles, read and consider the politics, and together use those books to help change ourselves as we change the world.”

Malcolm X had long been an uncompromising opponent of imperialist oppression, exploitation, and degradation.
During the last year of his life, he also became an outspoken opponent of capitalism. Malcolm’s last year
illustrates how, in the imperialist epoch, revolutionary leadership of the highest political capacity,
courage and integrity converges with communism.That truth has even greater weight today as billions around
the world, in city and countryside, from China to Brazil, are being hurled into the modern class struggle by
the violent expansion of world capitalism.

- The Clintons’ Antilabor Legacy: Roots of the 2008 World Financial Crisis
- The Stewardship of Nature Also Falls to the Working Class
- Setting the Record Straight on Fascism and World War II: Building a World Federation of Democratic Youth

A chapter in the chronicle of the
Cuban Revolution, as told by those on the front lines of that ongoing epic. Armando Choy, Gustavo Chui, and

decades of revolutionary action and internationalism, from Cuba to Angola, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Through
their stories the social and political forces that gave birth to the Cuban
nation and still shape our epoch unfold. We see how millions of ordinary men and
women like them changed the course of history, becoming different human beings in the process.

Is Socialist
Revolution
in the U.S. Possible?
By Mary-Alice Waters, Olympia Newton, Norton Sandler
Price: $5.00
Reader's Club price: $4.00
Also available in: Spanish
|
"To think that a socialist revolution in the U.S. is
not possible, you would have to believe not only that the ruling families of the imperialist
countries and their economic wizards have found a way to ‘manage’ capitalism. You would also have to close
your eyes to the spreading imperialist wars, civil wars, and economic, financial, and social crises we are
in the midst of."
—Mary-Alice Waters

Founding document of the modern working-class

establishment of large-scale capitalist industry and its social consequences.

The Cuban Revolution of 1959 had a worldwide political impact, including on working people
and youth in the imperialist heartland. As the mass, proletarian-based struggle for Black rights was already
advancing in the U.S., the social transformation fought for and won by the Cuban toilers set an example that
socialist revolution is not only necessary—it can be made and defended. Second edition with a new foreword
by Mary-Alice Waters.

|
| |
|
This
series brings together documents, reports, and speeches by
working-class political leaders who fought in the early decades of the
twentieth century to oppose imperialist war by organizing toilers to
overthrow their capitalist rulers.
The series begins with debates in the working class movement over
war, colonialism, and reform and revolution in the years leading up to
the First World War and the Russian revolution. Later volumes take up
the Russian revolution itself, the postwar revolutionary upsurge in
Germany, the first two congresses of the Communist International, and
the Congress of the Peoples of the East, held in Baku, Azerbaijan, in
1920.
Much of the material appears in print in English for the first time.
Each volume includes photos, annotation, a glossary, a chronology, and
an index.
“Brings together an excellent choice of important and revealing
documents.… The entire series will be important resources for any library of twentieth-century
history.”—Robert V. Daniels, editor, A Documentary History of
Communism
“This is the definitive version. Should be in all academic
libraries.”—Choice
