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.”
