Michael Heinrich Translated by Alexander Locasio

There are more than twenty-five comprehensive biographies of Marx, but none of them consider his life and work in equal, corresponding measure. This biography, planned for three volumes, aims to AVAILABLE APRIL include what most biographies have reduced to mere 464 pages | CLOTH ONLY background: the contemporary conflicts, struggles, Cloth 978-1-58367-735-3 and disputes that engaged Marx at the time of his $34.00 | £25.00 | $43.95Can writings, alongside his complex relationships with a e-book available varied assortment of friends and opponents. This first volume deals extensively with Marx’s youth in Trier and his studies in Bonn and Berlin. It will also examine the function of poetry in his intel- lectual development and his first occupation with Hegelian philosophy and with the so-called “young Hegelians” in his 1841 Dissertation. Already during this period, there were crises as well as breaks in Marx’s intellectual development that prompted Marx to give up projects and re-conceptualize his critical enterprise. This volume is the beginning of an astoundingly dimensional look at Karl Marx—a study of a complex life and body of work through the neglected issues, events, and people that helped comprise both. It is destined to become a classic.

MICHAEL HEINRICH taught economics for many years at the University of Applied Sci- ences in Berlin and was managing editor of PROKLA: Journal for Critical Social Science. He has written in depth on Marx’s critique of political economy. His An Introduction to the Three Volumes of Karl Marx’s Capital is probably the most popular introduction to Marx’s economic works in Germany.

1 Navigating the Zeitgeist A Story of the Cold War, the New Left, Irish Republicanism, and International Communism

Helena Sheehan

Why would an American girl-child, born into a good, Irish-Catholic family in the thick of the McCarthy era—a girl who, when she came of age, entered a convent—morph into an atheist, feminist, and AVAILABLE JANUARY Marxist? The answer is in Helena Sheehan’s fasci- 384 pages nating account of her journey from her 1940s and Paper 978-1-58367-727-8 1950s beginnings, into the turbulent 1960s, when $25.00 | £18.99 | $32.95Can the Vietnam War, black power, and women’s libera- Cloth 978-1-58367-728-5 tion rocked her assumptions and prompted a volley $95.00 | £73.00 | $123.95Can of life-upending questions—questions shared by e-book available millions of young people of her generation. But, for Helena Sheehan, the increasingly radicalized answers deepened through the following decades. Migrating from the United States to Ireland, she became involved with Irish republicanism and international communism in the 1970s and 1980s. Sheehan’s narrative vividly captures the global sweep and contradictions of second-wave femi- nism, antiwar activism, national liberation move- ments, and international communism in Eastern and Western Europe—as well as the quieter intellectual ferment of individuals living through these times. Navigating the Zeitgeist is an eloquently articulated voyage from faith to enlightenment to historical materialism that informs as well as entertains.

HELENA SHEEHAN is Professor Emerita at Dublin City University, where she taught history of ideas and media studies. She is also the author of several books, including Marxism and the Philosophy of Science: A Critical History, as well as journal articles on politics, culture, and philosophy.

2 Mythologies of State and Monopoloy Power

Michael E. Tigar

“Mythologies,” writes veteran human rights lawyer Michael Tigar, “are structures of words and images that portray people, institutions, and events in ways that mask an underlying reality.” For instance, the “Justice Department” appears, by its very nature and practice, to appropriate “justice” as the exclusive AVAILABLE NOW property of the federal government. In his brilliantly 168 pages acerbic collection of essays, Tigar reveals, decon- Paper 978-1-58367-742-1 structs, and eviscerates mythologies surrounding $22.00 | £16.99 | $28.95Can the U.S. criminal justice system, racism, free expres- Cloth 978-1-58367-743-8 sion, workers’ rights, and international human rights. Lawyers confront mythologies in the context of $95.00 | £73.00 | $123.95Can their profession. But the struggle for human libera- e-book available tion makes mythology-busting the business of all of us. The rights we have learned to demand are not only trivialized in our current system of social rela- tions; they are, in fact, antithetical to that system. With wit and eloquence, Michael Tigar draws on legal cases, philosophy, literature, and fifty-years’ experience as an attorney, activist, and teacher to bust the mythologies and to argue for real change.

MICHAEL E. TIGAR has worked for over fifty years with movements for social change as a human rights lawyer, law professor, and writer. He has taught at law schools in the United States, France, South Africa, and Japan, and is Emeritus Professor at Duke Law School and American University Washington College of Law. He has authored or co-authored fourteen books, three plays, and scores of articles and essays.

"Beautifully written, learned, and profoundly insightful. In a better world, Michael Tigar would be a justice on the United States Supreme Court."—MICHAEL STEVEN SMITH, CO-HOST, LAW AND DISORDER RADIO

3 A Socialist Defector From Harvard to Karl-Marx-Allee

Victor Grossman (Stephen Wechsler)

The circumstances that impelled Victor Grossman, a U.S. Army draftee stationed in Europe, to flee a military prison sentence were the icy pressures of the McCarthy Era. Grossman—a.k.a. Steve Wechsler, a committed leftist since his years at Harvard and, briefly, as a factory worker—left his barracks in Bavaria one August day in 1952, and, in a panic, swam across the Danube River from the Austrian U.S. Zone to the Soviet Zone. Fate—i.e., the Soviets— AVAILABLE NOW landed him in East Germany, officially the German 336 pages Democratic Republic. There he remained, observer Paper 978-1-58367-738-4 and participant, husband and father, as he watched $23.00| £17.99 | $29.95Can the rise and successes, the travails, and the eventual demise of the GDR socialist experiment. A Socialist Cloth 978-1-58367-739-1 Defector is the story, told in rare, personal detail, $95.00 | £73.00 | $123.95Can of an activist and writer who grew up in the U.S. e-book available free-market economy; spent thirty-eight years in the GDR’s nationally owned, centrally administered economy; and continues to survive, given whatever the market can bear, in today’s united Germany. Grossman offers insightful, often ironic, reflec- tions and reminiscences, comparing the good and bad sides of life in all three of the societies he has known. His account focuses especially on the social- ism he saw and lived—the GDR’s goals and achieve- ments, its repressive measures and stupidities— which, he argues, offers lessons now in our search for solutions to the grave problems facing our world. This is a fascinating and unique historical narrative.

VICTOR GROSSMAN, a New York red-diaper baby of the 1930s, joined the Communist Party as a Harvard student. He fled the U.S. Army during the McCarthy Era, swam the Danube River to the Soviet Zone of Austria, and was sent to East Germany. There, he studied journalism and became a freelance writer and popular speaker. He was pardoned by the U.S. Army in 1994 and, in 2003, published an autobiography, Crossing the River: A Memoir of the American Left, the Cold War, and Life in East Germany.

4 The Coming of the American Behemoth The Origins of Fascism in the United States, 1920–1940

Michael Joseph Roberto

We rarely think of fascism as linked to the essence of monopoly-finance capitalism, operating under the guise of American free enterprise. But, as Michael AVAILABLE NOW Joseph Roberto argues, this is exactly where fascism’s embryonic forms began gestating in the United 464 pages States, during the so-called prosperous 1920s and the Paper 978-1-58367-731-5 Great Depression of the following decade. Drawing $25.00 | £18.99 | $32.95Can from a range of authors who wrote during the 1930s Cloth 978-1-58367-732-2 and early 1940s, Roberto examines how the driving $95.00 | £73.00 | $123.95Can force of American fascism comes, not from reaction- e-book available ary movements below, but from the top, namely, Big Business and the power of finance capital. More subtle than its earlier European counterparts, writes Roberto, fascist America’s racist, top-down quashing of individual liberties masqueraded as “real democ- racy,” “upholding the Constitution,” and the pressure to be “100 Percent American.”

MICHAEL JOSEPH ROBERTO retired in 2016 from the faculty of North Carolina Agricul- tural and Technical State University, the largest historically black educational institution in the United States, where he taught contemporary world history. A longtime political activist in Greensboro, NC, he has worked as a journalist and published essays in Monthly Review, Socialism and Democracy, and other scholarly journals. Roberto is also a percus- sionist who has performed with leading jazz and R&B musicians..

“In this carefully researched study of what contemporaneous U.S. Marxists had to say about 1930s fascist processes, Roberto argues that the essence of fascism—capitalist dictatorship—is entirely compatible with liberal democracy. His thesis not only illuminates Depression-era politics and economics but also carries profound implications for our time."—BARBARA FOLEY, AUTHOR, RADICAL REPRESENTATIONS: POLITICS AND FORM IN U.S. PROLETARIAN FICTION, 1929-1941

6 Jazz and Justice Racism and the Political Economy of the Music

Gerald Horne

The music we call “jazz” arose in late nineteenth century North America—most likely in New Orleans— based on the musical traditions of Africans, newly freed from slavery. Grounded in the music known as the “blues,” which expressed the pain, sufferings, and hopes of Black folk then pulverized by Jim Crow, this new music entered the world via the instruments that had been abandoned by departing military bands after AVAILABLE APRIL the Civil War. In this new book, Horne Music examines 512 pages the economic, social, and political forces that shaped Paper 978-1-58367-785-8 this music into a phenomenal U.S.—and Black Ameri- $27.00 | £22.00 | $34.95Can can—contribution to global arts and culture.

Horne pays particular attention to women artists, such as pianist Mary Lou Williams and trombon- ist Melba Liston, who faced the triple jeopardy of racism, sexism, and class exploitation. He also limns the contributions of musicians with Native American roots who, because of the peculiarities of Jim Crow laws, were defined as African American. He traces the routes of those musicians forced into exile because of Jim Crow: Dexter Gordon in Copenhagen; Art Farmer in Vienna; Randy Weston in Morocco. This is the story of a beautiful lotus, growing from the filth of the crassest form of human immiseration.

GERALD HORNE is John J. and Rebecca Moores Professor of African American History at the University of Houston. A prolific scholar, he has published more than three dozen books, including Confronting Black Jacobins and Race to Revolution.

8 Abolitionist Feminist Socialism Radicalizing the Next Revolution

Zillah Eisenstein

In her vibrant, politically personal essay, Zillah Eisen- stein asks us to consider what it would mean to thread “socialism” to feminism; then, what it would mean to thread “abolitionism” to socialist feminism. Finally, she asks all of us, especially white women, to consider what it would mean to risk everything to abolish white supremacy, to uproot the structural AVAILABLE MAY knot of sex, race, gender, and class growing from that 144 pages imperial whiteness. If we are to create a revolution Cloth 978-1-58367-762-9 that is totally liberatory, we need to pool together in a new working class, building a radical movement $20.00 | £16.99 | $25.95Can made of movements. e-book available Eisenstein’s manifesto is built on almost half a century of antiracist socialist feminist work. She asks us not to be limited by reforms, but to radicalize each other on differing fronts. Our task is to build bridges, to connect progressive candidates with environmen- tal activists; striking teachers from West Virginia to Los Angeles with Black Lives Matter and the Black Youth Project 100; gun control advocates with incar- cerated people involved in prison strikes; disabled people demonstrating in D.C. with transgender rights people reconfiguring the sexual binary. The genius force demanding that we abolish white supremacy can also create a new “we” for all of us—a humanity universally accepting of our complexities and differ- ences. We are in uncharted waters, but that is exactly where we need to be.

ZILLAH EISENSTEIN is the author of twelve books and editor of Capitalist Patriarchy and the Case for Socialist Feminism, published by Monthly Review Press. She is Professor Emerita, Ithaca College, NY. “This book is stunning in its questions and tone, open and learning, personal and theoretical. It is a gift to us all, one that helps so much in these critical, difficult times.”—SUSAN BUCK-MORSS, CUNY GRADUATE CENTER

10 Value Chains The New Economic Imperialism

WINNER, PAUL A. BARAN–PAUL M. SWEEZY MEMORIAL AWARD

Intan Suwandi

Focusing on the issue of labor within global value chains—vast networks of people, tools, and activities needed to deliver goods and services to the market and controlled by multinationals—Suwandi offers a deft empirical analysis of unit labor costs that is closely related to Marx’s own theory of exploitation. Value Chains uncovers the concrete processes through which multinational corporations, located primarily in the Global North, capture value from AVAILABLE AUGUST the Global South. We are brought face to face with 224 pages various state-of-the-art corporate strategies that Paper 978-1-58367-781-0 enforce “economical” and “flexible” production, $23.00 | £20.00 | $29.95Can including labor management methods, aimed to Cloth 978-1-58367-782-7 reassert the imperial dominance of the North, while continuing the dependency of the Global South and $89.00 | £70.00 | $115.95Can polarizing the global economy. Case studies of Indo- e-book available nesian suppliers exemplify the growing burden borne by the workers of the Global South, whose labor creates the surplus value that enriches the capitalists of the North, as well as the secondary capitals of the South. Suwandi’s book depicts in concrete detail the relations of unequal exchange that structure today’s world economy. This study, up-to-date and richly documented, puts labor and class back at the center of our understanding of the world capitalist system.

INTAN SUWANDI is a frequent contributor to Monthly Review magazine and has written for various publications on the political economy of imperialism, both in English and In- donesian. She has recently received her Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Oregon.

“This book belongs on the shelf alongside Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine as one of the most powerful indictments of capital in our era." —JOHN BELLAMY FOSTER, EDITOR, MONTHLY REVIEW

11 The Lie of Global Prosperity How Neoliberals Distort Data to Mask Poverty and Exploitation

Seth Donnelly

“How did the global poverty rate halve in 20 years?” inquires The Economist magazine. Seth Donnelly answers: “It didn’t!” In fact, virtually nothing about the glad tidings in the media proclaiming plummet- ing global poverty rates is true. It’s just that trend- setting neoliberal experts and institutions need us to AVAILABLE JUNE believe that global capitalism, now unfettered in the 160 pages wake of the Cold War and bolstered by information Paper 978-1-58367-756-0 technology, has ushered in a new phase of interna- $21.00| £16.99 | $27.95Can tional human prosperity. Cloth 978-1-58367-766-7 This short book deconstructs the assumption that $89.00 | £70.00 | $115.95Can global poverty has fallen dramatically, and lays bare e-book available the spurious methods of poverty measurement and data on which the dominant prosperity narrative depends. Here is carefully researched documenta- tion that global poverty—and the inequalities and misery that flourish within it—remains massive, afflicting the majority of the world's population. Donnelly goes further to analyze just how global poverty, rather than being reduced, is actually repro- duced by the imperatives of capital accumulation on a global scale. Just as the global, environmental catastrophe cannot be resolved within capitalism, neither can human poverty be effectively eliminated by neoliberal “advances.”

SETH DONNELLY is a public high school teacher in the Bay Area of California, where he has taught social studies for nearly two decades. He has also been a longtime social worker and activist with the Puerto Rican independence and Black liberation move- ments, particularly those led by prisoners.

“While there have been other critiques . . . of measuring poverty, this book unifies them into a broader, accessible critique that will be of use to revolutionary social movements and activists the world over.”—CHRISTOPHER FEISE, PROFESSOR EMERITUS, WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY

12 Voices of Latin America Social Movements and New Activism

Tom Gatehouse, editor

These are uncertain times in Latin America. Popu- lar faith in democracy has been shaken; traditional political parties and institutions are stagnating—all amid a growing rightwing extremism. Yet, in recent years, autonomous social movements have multi- plied and thrived. This book presents voices of these movement protagonists as they describe the major issues, conflicts, and campaigns for social justice in AVAILABLE MARCH Latin America today. Latin America Bureau, a London- 320 pages based, independent organization providing news and analysis on the region, spoke to people from fourteen Paper 978-1-58367-797-1 countries, from Mexico to the Southern Cone. $32.00 | $41.95Can This book captures the voices of indigenous activ- Cloth 978-1-58367-798-8 ists fighting oil drilling in their homelands; mothers $89.00 | $115.95Can from favelas seeking justice for their children killed e-book available by police; opponents of large-scale mining projects; 58 images, 4-color independent journalists working, at great personal risk, to expose corruption and human rights viola- tions; women and LGBT people confronting violence and discrimination; and students demanding their right to a free, universal and high-quality education system. Though their locations and causes are dispa- rate, these people and their movements share learn- ing and activism, and their cooperation helps to link the movements across national borders. Voices of Latin America is essential reading for students, trav- elers, journalists—anyone with an interest in social justice movements in Latin America.
