Guide to Left Forum 2014
Holding Fast to anImage of the PastExplorations in the Marxist Tradition
Neil DavidsonThis book of essays by historian Neil Davidson insight-fully explores themes running through historical materialism to show how Marxism can retain a sense of tradition without becoming fossilized. Examining classical and contemporary figures, subjects range from Naomi Klein's view of neoliberalism to Karl Marx and Frederick Engels's views on Scotland.
Unnished LeninismThe Rise and Return of a Revolutionary Doctrine
Paul Le BlancLenin was perhaps the greatest revolutionary of the twentieth century: leader of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the central founder of modern Communism. These clearly-written essays offer a succinct account of his life and times, a lively view of his personality, and a stimulating engagement with his ideas.
Brazil's Dance with the DevilThe World Cup, the Olympics,and the Fight for Democracy
Dave ZirinAs the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games approach, ordinary Brazilians are holding the country's biggest protest marches in decades. Sports journalist Dave Zirin traveled to Brazil to find out why. In a rollicking read that travels from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to the fabled Maracan Stadium, Zirin examines how athletic mega-events turn into neoliberal Trojan horses.
CapitalismA Ghost Story
Arundhati RoyCapitalism: A Ghost Story examines the dark side of democracy in contemporary India and shows how the demands of globalized capitalism have subjugated billions of people to the most intense forms of racism and exploitation.
Men ExplainThings to MeRebecca SolnitIn her comic, scathing essay Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women dont, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters.
