MONTHLY review press 2020 The Return of Nature Socialism and Ecology

John Bellamy Foster Twenty years ago, John Bellamy Foster’s Marx’s Ecol- ogy introduced a new understanding of Karl Marx’s revolutionary ecological materialism. More than simply a study of Marx, it commenced an intellectual and social history, encompassing thinkers from Epicurus to Darwin, who developed materi- AVAILABLE APRIL alist and ecological ideas. Now, with The Return of 672 pages | CLOTH ONLY Nature, Foster continues this narrative. In so doing, Cloth 978-1-58367-836-7 he uncovers a long history of efforts to unite issues $35.00 | £30.00 | $49.95Can of social justice and environmental sustainability that will help us comprehend and counter today’s e-book available unprecedented planetary emergencies. The Return of Nature begins with the deaths of Darwin (1882) and Marx (1883) and moves on until the rise of the ecological age in the 1960s and 1970s. Foster explores how socialist analysts and material- ist scientists of various stamps, ﬁrst in Britain, then the United States, from William Morris and Freder- ick Engels, to Joseph Needham, Rachel Carson, and Stephen Jay Gould, sought to develop a dialectical naturalism, rooted in a critique of capitalism. In the process, he delivers a far-reaching and fascinating reinterpretation of the radical and socialist origins of ecology. Ultimately, what this book asks for is noth- ing short of revolution: a long, ecological revolution, aimed at making peace with the planet while meet- ing collective human needs, including those of the entire chain of human generations and life on the Earth as a whole.

JOHN BELLAMY FOSTER is professor of sociology at the University of Oregon and editor of Monthly Review. “In the century following Marx’s death, left-wing scientists and writers made major contributions to the development of modern ecological thought. Foster’s brilliant new book recovers that history, making the work and ideas of those neglected ecosocialist pioneers accessible to the activists who are building today’s movements against global environmental destruction.” —IAN ANGUS, AUTHOR, FACING THE ANTHROPOCENE; EDITOR, CLIMATE & CAPITALISM

Paul Cockshott Few authors are able to write cogently in both the scientiﬁc and the economic spheres. Even fewer possess the intellectual scope needed to address science and economics at a macro as well as a micro AVAILABLE NOW level.

"A hugely informative account of the capitalist and non-capitalist modes of production—a term Cockshott takes seriously, almost literally. You may well disagree with some of his views, but you will learn a great deal from this highly readable book.”—MOSHÉ MACHOVER, CO-AUTHOR (WITH EMMANUEL FARJOUN), LAWS OF CHAOS: A PROBABILISTIC APPROACH TO POLITICAL ECONOMY "An important contribution to historical materialism, complementing Marx and Engels’s classic analyses. With a strong focus on transitions from early societies to contemporary capitalism, Cockshott’s dispassionate appraisal of 'actually existing socialism' and sober exploration of plausible communist futures offer promising new directions for progressive politics."—GREG MICHAELSON, EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY, EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

3 The Punishment Monopoly Tales of My Ancestors, Dispossession, and the Building of the United States

Pem Davidson Buck

Why, asks Pem Davidson Buck, is punishment so central to the functioning of the United States, a country proclaiming “liberty and justice for all”? The Punishment Monopoly challenges our everyday understanding of American history, focusing on the AVAILABLE NOW constructions of race, class, and gender upon which 440 pages the United States was built, and which still support Paper 978-1-58367-832-9 racial capitalism and the carceral state. $29.00| £25.00 | $40.95Can Using stories of her European ancestors, who Cloth 978-1-58367-833-6 arrived in colonial Virginia in the seventeenth $89.00 | £75.00 | $132.95Can and eighteenth centuries, and following their descendants into the early nineteenth century, e-book available Buck shows how struggles over the right to punish, backed by the growing power of the state governed by a white elite, made possible the dispossession of Africans, Native Americans, and poor whites. Those struggles led to the creation of the low-wage working classes that capitalism requires, locked in by a metastasizing white supremacy that Buck’s ancestors, with many others, helped establish. The exploitation and detention of immigrants; mass incarceration; Islamophobia; white privilege; judicial and extra-judicial killings of people of color and some poor whites: The Punishment Monopoly makes it clear that none of these injustices was accidental or inevitable, and that shifting our state- sanctioned understandings of history is a step toward liberating us from its control of the present.

“A major feat in historical interpretation.”—FAYE V. HARRISON, AUTHOR, OUTSIDER WITHIN: REWORKING ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE GLOBAL AGE

PEM DAVIDSON BUCK is Professor Emerita of Anthropology at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College in Kentucky. Her work has focused on whiteness, on the discourses of inequality, and most recently on theorizing the carceral state and the relationship between state formation and punishment. She is the author of Worked to the Bone: Race, Class, Power, and Privilege in Kentucky.

4 The Dawning of the Apocalypse The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism in the Long Sixteenth Century

Gerald Horne

August 2019 saw numerous commemorations of the year 1619, when what was said to be the first arrival of enslaved Africans occurred in North America. Yet in the 1520s, the Spanish, from their imperial perch AVAILABLE JULY in Santo Domingo, had already brought enslaved 304 pages Africans to what was to become South Carolina. Paper 978-1-58367-872-5 The enslaved people here quickly defected to local $27.00 | £18.99 | $37.95Can Indigenous populations and compelled their captors to flee. Deploying much illuminating research, The Cloth 978-1-58367-873-2 Dawning of the Apocalypse is a riveting revision of $95.00 | £75.00 | $132.95Can the “creation myth” of settler colonialism and how e-book available the United States was formed. Here, Gerald Horne argues forcefully that, in order to understand the arrival of colonists from the British Isles in the early seventeenth century, one must first understand the “long sixteenth century”—from 1492 until the arrival of settlers in Virginia in 1607. During this prolonged century, Horne contends, “whiteness” morphed into “white supremacy” and allowed England to co-opt not only religious minori- ties but also various nationalities throughout Europe, thus forging a muscular bloc that was needed to confront rambunctious Indigenes and Africans. In retelling the bloodthirsty story of the invasion of the Americas, Horne recounts how the fierce resistance by Africans and their Indigenes allies weakened Spain and enabled London to dispatch settlers to Virginia in 1607. These settlers laid the groundwork for the British Empire and ultimately the United States of America.

GERALD HORNE is John J. and Rebecca Moores Professor of African American History at the University of Houston. He has published more than three dozen books, including The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism and Jazz and Justice.

6 Tell the Bosses We're Coming A New Action Plan for Workers in the Twenty-ﬁrst Century

Shaun Richman

Lengthening hours, lessening pay, no parental leave, scant job security. Never have so many workers needed so much support. Yet the very labor unions that could garner us protections and help us speak AVAILABLE MAY up for ourselves are growing weaker every day. In an age of rampant inequality, of increasing social 256 pages | CLOTH ONLY protest and strikes—and when a majority of work- 978-1-58367-856-5 ers say they want to be union members—why does $26.00 | £25.00 | $35.95Can union density continue to decline? In this compel- e-book available ling new book, Shaun Richman offers some answers. But bringing unions back from the edge of insti- tutional annihilation, says Richman, is no simple proposition. The next few years offer a rare oppor- tunity to undo the great damage wrought on labor by decades of corporate union-busting, if only union activists raise our ambitions. Based on deft historical research and legal analysis, as well as his own experience as a union organizing director, Richman lays out an action plan for U.S. workers in the twenty- ﬁrst century by which we can internalize the concept that workers are equal human beings, entitled to health care, dignity, job security—and deﬁnitely, the right to strike. Unafraid to take on some of the labor movement’s sacred cows, this book describes what it would take—some changes that are within activists’ power and some that require meaningful legal reform—to put unions in workplaces across America.

SHAUN RICHMAN spent a decade and a half as a union organizer and representative. He is the Program Director of the Harry Van Arsdale Jr. School of Labor Studies at SUNY Empire State College. His writing has been published in The American Prospect, In These Times, Jacobin, The New York Daily News, and the New York Times.

“Shaun Richman is a critical voice in the fight for workers’ rights in the New Gilded Age and Tell the Bosses is a manifesto for real change to give workers power over their jobs.”—ERIK LOOMIS, AUTHOR, A HISTORY OF AMERICA IN TEN STRIKES

7 Radical Seattle The General Strike of 1919

Cal Winslow

On a grey winter morning in Seattle, in February 1919, 110 local unions shut down the entire city. Shut it down and took it over, rendering the authori- ties helpless. For ﬁve days, workers from all trades and sectors—streetcar drivers, telephone operators, musicians, miners, loggers, shipyard workers—fed the people, ensured that babies had milk, that the AVAILABLE FEBRUARY sick were cared for. They did this without police— and they kept the peace themselves. This had never 280 pages | 18 Photographs happened before in the United States and has not Paper 978-1-58367-852-7 happened since. Those ﬁve days became known as $26.00| £18.99 | $35.95Can the General Strike of Seattle. Chances are you’ve Cloth 978-1-58367-853-4 never heard of it. In Radical Seattle, Cal Winslow $95.00 | £75.00 | $132.95Can explains why. e-book available Winslow describes how Seattle’s General Strike was actually the high point in a long process of early twentieth century socialist and working-class organization, when everyday people built a viable political infrastructure that seemed, to governments and corporate bosses, radical—even “Bolshevik.” Draw- ing on original research, Winslow depicts a process that, in struggle, fused the celebrated itinerants of the West with the workers of a modern industrial city. But this book is not only an account of the heady days of February 1919, it is also about the making of a class capable of launching one of America’s most gripping strikes—what E. P. Thompson once referred to as "the long tenacious revolutionary tradition of the common people."

CAL WINSLOW, a longtime labor activist and educator, is director of the Mendocino Institute and a retired fellow in environmental history at UC Berkeley. Among his books are Labor's Civil War in California and Rebel Rank and File. He edited E .P. Thompson and the Making of the New Left.

“With a writing style of vigor and virility, this book is part of the experience of our class, both bold and free, that we need now.”—PETER LINEBAUGH, AUTHOR, RED ROUND GLOBE HOT BURNING

8 Cuban Health Care The Ongoing Revolution

Don Fitz

Though ignored—or worse— inside the United States, the Cuban Revolution has achieved some phenom- enal goals, reclaiming Cuba’s agriculture, advancing its literacy rate to nearly 100 percent—and remaking its medical system. Cuba has transformed its health care to the extent that this “third-world” country has been able to maintain a first-world medical system, whose health indicators surpass those of the United AVAILABLE JUNE States at a fraction of the cost. Don Fitz combines his 296 pages | 17 Photographs deep knowledge of Cuban history with his decades of on-the-ground experience in Cuba to bring us the Paper 978-1-58367-860-2 story of how Cuba’s health care system evolved and $26.00 | £17.99 | $35.95Can how Cuba is tackling the daunting challenges to its Cloth 978-1-58367-861-9 revolution in this century. $95.00 | £80.00 | $132.95Can Fitz weaves together complex themes in Cuban e-book available history, moving the reader from one fascinating story to another. He describes how Cuba was able to create a unified system of clinics, and evolved the family doctor-nurse teams that became a model for poor countries throughout the world. How, in the 1980s and ‘90s, Cuba survived the encroachment of AIDS and increasing suffering that came with the collapse of the Soviet Union, and then went on to establish the Latin American School of Medicine, which still brings thousands of international students to the island. Deeply researched, recounted with compassion, Cuban Health Care tells a story you won’t find anywhere else, of how, in terms of caring for everyday people, Cuba’s revolution continues.

DON FITZ is a member of the editorial board of Green Social Thought and newsletter editor for the Green Party of St. Louis. He contributes frequently to Monthly Review.

“This is the best written and most accurate work published in years about the history and recent achievements of Cuban health care. The book gives inspiration for people around the world concerned about the future of health care and health itself.”—HOWARD WAITZKIN, COORDINATING EDITOR, HEALTH CARE UNDER THE KNIFE: MOVING BEYOND CAPITALISM FOR OUR HEALTH

10 Free Speech and the Suppression of Dissent During World War I Eric T. Chester

World War I, given all the rousing “Over-There” songs and in-the-trenches films it inspired, was, at its outset, surprisingly unpopular with the American public. As AVAILABLE AUGUST opposition increased, Woodrow Wilson’s administra- 416 pages tion became intent on stifling antiwar dissent. Paper 978-1-58367-868-8 In his absorbing new book, Eric Chester reveals that out of this turmoil came a heated public discussion on $27.00 | £18.99 | $37.95Can the theory of civil liberties—the basic freedoms that Cloth 978-1-58367-869-5 are, theoretically, untouchable by any of the three $49.00 | £45.00 | $68.95Can branches of the U.S. government. The famous “clear e-book available and present danger” argument of Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the “balance of conflicting interest” theory of law professor Zecha- riah Chafee, for example, evolved to provide a ratio- nale for courts to act as a limited restraint on auto- cratic actions of the government. But Chester goes further, to examine an alternative theory: civil liberties exist as absolute rights, rather than being depen- dent on the specific circumstances of each case. Over the years, the debate about the right to dissent has intensified and become more necessary. This fascinating book explains why, a century after the First World War—and in the era of Trump—we need to know about this.

ERIC T. CHESTER taught economics at the University of Massachusetts in Boston and San Francisco State University. A committed activist for more than ﬁfty years, he was vice- presidential candidate for the Socialist Party in 1996. He is the author of several books, including Rag-Tags, Scum, Riff-Raff, and Commies: The U.S. Intervention in the Dominican Republic, 1965–1966 and The Wobblies in Their Heyday: The Rise and Destruction of the Industrial Workers of the World in the World War I Era.
