Night Thoughts
Wallace Shawn
Toni Morrison
Full of what you might call conversation starters: tricky propositions about
morality, politics, and art as a force for change (or not). . . . Its a treat to hear
[Shawn] speak his curious mind.
O Magazine
As an actor and playwright, Shawns eccentric style is like no one elses. And
in his collection of essays . . . that inimitable inquiring voice can be heard loud
and clear.

The Doctor
and the Saint
Caste, Race, and Annihilation
of Caste, the Debate Between
B. R. Ambedkar and M. K. Gandhi
Arundhati Roy
Democracy hasnt eradicated caste, writes Arundhati Roy. It has entrenched and modernized it. Roy
insists we must examine the influence of Gandhi in
shaping what India ultimately became: independent of British rule, globally powerful, and marked to this day by the caste system.
For more than half a centurythroughout his adult life[Gandhis] pronouncements on
the inherent qualities of black Africans, untouchables, and the laboring classes remained
consistently insulting, she writes. His refusal to allow working-class people and untouchables to create their own political organizations and elect their own representatives remained consistent too.
In The Doctor and the Saint, Roy reveals some uncomfortable, even controversial, truths
about the political thought and career of Indias most revered figure. By exploring his debates with the Dalit leader B. R. Ambedkar, author of Annihilation of Caste, Roy makes clear
that what millions of Indians need is not merely formal democracy but liberation from the
oppression, shame, and poverty imposed on them by Indias archaic caste system.
Praise for Arundhati Roy:
Arundhati Roy is incandescent in her brilliance and her fearlessness.
Junot Daz
The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves humanity moves my heart.
Alice Walker
ARUNDHATI ROY studied architecture in New Delhi, where she now lives.
She is the author of the novel The God of Small Things, for which she received
the 1997 Man Booker Prize. The novel has been translated into forty languages worldwide. She has written several nonfiction books, including The End of
Imagination and Capitalism: A Ghost Story.

Assata Taught Me
State Violence, Mass Incarceration,
and the Movement for Black Lives
Donna Murch
Black Panther and Cuban exile Assata Shakur has inspired multiple generations of radical protest, including the contemporary Black Lives Matter movement.
Bringing this radical history of Black protest to bear
on the current moment, these thought-provoking essays by award-winning scholar Donna Murch explore
how social protest is challenging systems of state violence and mass incarceration.
Murch exposes the devastating consequences of campaigns targeting gangs, drugs, and
crime on poor and working-class populations of color. Through largely hidden channels,
these punitive campaigns, Murch says, generate enormous revenues for the state. Under
such difficult conditions, organized resistance to the advancing tide of state violence and
incarceration has proved challenging.
This timely book shows how a youth-led political movement has emerged since the killing
of Trayvon Martin that challenges the bipartisan consensus on punishment and looks to
the future through a redistributive, queer, and feminist lens. Murch frames the Black Lives
Matter movement in relation to earlier struggles for Black liberation while excavating the
origins of mass incarceration and the political economy that drives it.
Assata Taught Me offers a fresh and much-needed historical perspective on the fifty years
since the founding of the Black Panther Party, during which the worlds largest police state
has emerged.
DONNA MURCH is an associate professor of history at Rutgers, the State
University of New Jersey. She is the author of Living for the City: Migration,
Education, and the Rise of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California.

In the Shadows
of the American Century
The Rise and Fall of US Global Power
Alfred W. McCoy
To fill the vast void between the enormity of US global power and the
paucity of its analysis, Living in the Shadows of the American Century
offers a critical, comprehensive analysis of Americas rise to global dominion, its unique mechanisms for exercising that power, and the dynamics of its decline. Recognizing that historys most powerful empire is also its least studied, the book
explores the distinctive instruments of American hegemonyincluding covert intervention, client elites,
psychological torture, and worldwide surveillance.
ALFRED W. MCCOY holds the Harrington Chair in History at the University of WisconsinMadison. His 2009 book Policing Americas Empire won the Kahin Prize from the Association for Asian Studies. In 2012, Yale University awarded him the Wilbur Cross Medal.

11/14/16 11:49 AM
Combining Young Lenin and On Lenin in one volume, this is a fascinating political biography by Lenins fellow revolutionary, Leon Trotsky.
Trotsky on Lenin brings together two long-out-of-print works in a single volume for the first time, providing an intimate and illuminating
portrait of the Bolshevik leader by another of the twentieth centurys
greatest revolutionaries.
Written shortly after its subjects death, On Lenin covers the period of
revolutionary struggle leading up to 1917 as well as the early years of Bolshevik power. We see a
man totally committed to the revolutionary cause, whose legacy was later corrupted under the Soviet
Unions Stalinist degeneration. Young Lenin, meanwhile, describes his early years and conversion to
Marxism, dispelling many of the myths later created by Soviet hagiography in the process. The essential guide for anyone wanting to understand Lenin as a thinker, active revolutionary, and personality.

Reminiscences of Lenin
Nadezhda K. Krupskaya
Capitalisms Contradictions
Studies of Economic Thought Before and After Marx
Henryk Grossman, Translated and edited by Rick Kuhn
Henryk Grossman was one of the best-known and most influential
Marxist economists of the twentieth century, and yet most of his work
remains unavailable to English-speaking audiences. This volume, collected and translated by Deutscher Prizewinning Grossman biographer
Rick Kuhn, assembles some of his most important essays and serves as
an accessible introduction to his project of recovering Marx. Grossman
highlights distinctive features of Marxs economic theory by contrasting it with the views of his forerunners, from Adam Smith to Jean Sismondi. He then provides a unique overview of the major debates
among Marxists over politics and economics between Marxs death and the rise of fascism in Germany.
HENRYK GROSSMAN (18811950) was a founding leader of the Jewish Social Democratic Party of Galicia and later a member of the Polish Communist Workers Party.

Revolutionary Studies
Theory, History, People
Paul Le Blanc
Revolutionary Studies explores the relevance of Marxism to emancipatory politics through a critical examination of core concepts and key
twentieth-century revolutionary figures and movements. The first part
of Revolutionary Studies explores definitions of the working class, social identities, democracy, capitalism, and socialism. The second applies
these understandings to the Russian, Chinese, Nicaraguan, Indian, and
South African revolutionary and post-revolutionary experiences. The third engages with the lives and the
ideas of five important figures associated with Marxism: Georg Lukcs, Antonio Gramsci, James Burnham,
Dennis Brutus, and Daniel Bensad. Revolutionary Studies is rigorously and clearly written for anyone
wanting to understand the interrelationship between revolutionary theory and revolutionary practice.
PAUL LE BLANC is a professor of history at La Roche College. He has written on
and participated in the US labor, radical, and civil rights movements. His books include
Marx, Lenin, and the Revolutionary Experience andLenin and the Revolutionary Party.

(Amsterdam), Peter Thomas (London)
The capitalist crisis of the twenty-first century has been met by a resurgence of interest
in critical Marxist theory. Yet the publishing institutions committed to Marxism have
contracted markedly since the high point of the 1970s. The Historical Materialism Book
Series is dedicated to addressing this situation by making available important works of
Marxist theory. The aim of the series is to publish important theoretical contributions
in the form of original monographs, translated texts, and reprints of classicsas the basis
for vigorous intellectual debate and exchange on the left.
Modern capitalism began the twenty-first century seemingly victorious as the dominant
social and economic organizing principle in the world. Rampant deregulation accompanied a wholesale attack on the social, economic, and political gains of the prior century
under the guise of increasing competitiveness and the need to respond to the forces of
globalization.
The peer-reviewed Studies in Critical Social Sciences book series offers insights into
the current reality by exploring the content and consequence of power relationships under capitalism, by considering the spaces of opposition and resistance to these changes,
and by articulating capitalism with other systems of power and dominationfor example race, gender, culturethat have been defining our new age.
Studies in Critical Social Sciences includes the subseries Studies in Critical Research
on Religion and Critical Global Studies.
