April 2008 More than forty years after its initial publication, Fanshen remains the essential volume for those interested in China’s revolutionary process of rural reform and social change. William Hinton’s pioneering work is a marvelous and revealing look into life in the Chinese countryside, where tradition and modernity have had both a complementary and caustic relationship since the Chinese Communist Party first came to power. It is a rare, concrete record of social struggle and transformation, as witnessed by a participant. Fanshen continues to offer profound insight into the lives of peasants and China’s complex social processes. Rediscover this classic volume, which includes a new preface by Fred Magdoff. |
July 2008 The World We Wish to See presents a sweeping view of twentieth-century political history and a stirring appeal to take political organization seriously.

August 2008 A breakthrough in the development of socialist thought, this extraordinary new work by the leading Marxian philosopher of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century is both a companion volume to Mészáros’s pathbreaking Beyond Capital and a major theoretical contribution in its own right. It focuses on the “decapitation of historical time” in today’s capitalism and the necessity of a new “socialist time accountancy” as a revolutionary response to the debilitating present. It offers a strong refutation of the view that “there is no alternative” to the current social order. |
