London in 1848, the Communist Manifesto is one of the most important
books of all time: a document which helped to define the emerging socialist
movement, altered the course of world history, and is universally acknowledged
to be a cornerstone of modern social thought. |

Cultures of Darkness:Night Travels in the Histories
of Trangression Constructing a rich tapestry of example and experience spanning eight centuries, Bryan Palmer’s fascinating account details lives of exclusion and challenge, as the “night travels” of the transgressors clash repeatedly with the powerful conventions of their times. Nights of liberation and exhilarating desire are at the heart of this study but so too are the dangers cloaked in darkness. Palmer reveals those hidden spaces where darkness concealed acts of brutalizing terror or alternately provided refuge, solace, or freedom. Using the night as metaphor and unifying theme Palmer takes an unflinching look at those dissident or oppositional cultures and movements and shows how they were fueled and shaped by the rise and transformation of capitalism. |

| In Our
Time: The
Chamberlain-Hitler Collusion by Clement Leibovitz "Strongly
recommended because of its revisionist analysis of a major crisis |
|
| Korea:
Division, Reunification,
and U.S. Foreign Policy "Korean
unification is one of the most important issues on the international agenda
today. Hart-Landsberg's broad-ranging inquiry develops a perspective that is
rarely heard, and that merits careful attention. It is a valuable contribution
to a debate that should not be delayed." |
|
| Labor and Monopoly Capital: The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century, 25th Anniversary Edition by Harry Braverman "Labor and
Monopoly Capital is one of the most influential books of our time, and it
deserves to be. This new edition will help a new generation of readers
understand the forces that are now transforming work around the
world." |

| Meatpackers:
An Oral History of Black
Packinghouse Workers "Here is a piece
of history not found in conventional textbooks. If ever there was a book our
young needed, it is Meatpackers—it reveals an epoch in which trade unions
fought and won whatever rights working people possess today. With these rights
constantly imperiled, this book is mandatory reading." |

| Mexico's
Hope:An
Encounter with Politics and History Mexico's Hope
represents the most forceful analysis, and at the same time the most
sophisticated and subtle general history of Mexico available.
Mexico'sHope will no doubt become a standard in Latin American
and Mexican history courses, but labor unionists, human rights workers, social
movement activists, and anyone interested in our nearest neighbor should read
this book." |

| Not
Automatic:Women and the Left in the Forging of the
Auto Workers' Union by Sol Dollinger and Genora Johnson Dollinger "Sol Dollinger's
remembrance of UAW's early days are juicy and provocative. His recall of those
goofy internecine political battles within the union is tragic-comic. Yet they,
united even though hollering at each other, made GM, Ford, et al, recognize the
union. The sequence involving Genora Johnson Dollinger, the heroine of the 1937
sit-down strike, is deeply moving and inspiring." |
|
| Open Veins of Latin
America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a
Continent "Well written and
passionately stated, this is an intellectually honest and valuable
study." |
|
| Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War by Che Guevara "Reflects the
life of an extraordinary and important man." |
|
| Taking Care of
Business: Samuel Gompers, George Meany, "Essential
reading for a new generation of organizers, scholars, and activits, as labor
once again, seeks to realign itself with social justice and community based
movements." |
