Eric Holt-Giménez Foreword by Marion Nestle Drawing from classical and modern analyses, A Foodie’s Guide to Capitalism introduces the reader to the history of our food system and to the basics of capitalism. In straightforward prose, Holt-Giménez AVAILABLE NOW explains the political economy of why billions go 288 pages hungry in the midst of abundance—even as local, Paper 978-1-58367-659-2 organic, and gourmet food have spread around the $25.00 | £18.99 | $34.95Can world; why obesity is a global epidemic; and why land-grabbing, global warming, and environmental Cloth 978-1-58367-660-8 pollution are increasing. $95.00 | £75.00 | $132.95Can Holt-Giménez offers emblematic accounts— e-book available and critiques—of past and present-day struggles to change the food system, from “voting with your fork” to land occupations. We learn about the potential and the pitfalls of organic and community- supported agriculture, certified fair trade, microfi- nance, land trusts, agrarian reform, , and food aid. We also learn about the convergence of growing social movements using the food system to challenge capitalism.

ERIC HOLTGIMÉNEZ is the director of the Institute for Food and Development Policy, known as Food First, a “people’s think tank” dedicated to ending the injustices that cause hunger. For over two decades, he has worked with peasant movements in Mexico and Central America, and has taught and published widely.

“Lively, timely, and engrossing, this is the only book you need to understand everything that’s wrong with our industrial, capitalist food systems. A capsule history, a novice’s guide or refresher course on Marx, deep theoretical and practi- cal understanding of food and farming, all in straightforward, understandable language; Eric Holt-Giménez is a national and international treasure. He should be read even—or especially—by people who aren’t foodies.” SUSAN GEORGE, AUTHOR, HOW THE OTHER HALF DIES: THE REAL REASONS FOR WORLD HUNGER

John Bellamy Foster Foreword by Robert W. McChesney In Trump in the White House, does what no other Trump analyst has done before: he places the president and his administration in full historical context. Foster reveals that Trump is merely the endpoint of a stagnating economic AVAILABLE NOW system whose liberal democratic sheen has begun 160 pages to wear thin. Beneath a veneer of democracy, we Paper 978-1-58367-680-6 see the authoritarian rule that oversees decreasing $14.95 | £12.99 | $20.95Can wages, anti-science and climate-change denialism, a Cloth 978-1-58367-681-3 dying public education system, and expanding pris- $95.00 | £60.00 | $132.95Can ons and military—all powered by a phony e-book available seething with centuries of racism that never went away. But Foster refuses to end his book in despair. Inside his analysis is a clarion call to fight back. Protests, popular demands, coalitions: everyone is needed. Change can’t happen without radical, anti-capitalist politics, and Foster demonstrates that it may yet be possible to stop the desecration of the Earth; to end endless war; and to create global solidarity with all oppressed people.

JOHN BELLAMY FOSTER is editor of Monthly Review and Professor of Sociology at the University of Oregon. He has written widely on political economy and ecology, including The Endless Crisis (with Robert W. McChesney) and The Ecological Rift (with Brett Clark and Richard York).

“The Trump White House is a neo-fascist project. Resistance is possible, but only if we name things for what their are and trace to its neoliberal roots. ‘To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle,’ said Orwell.

Stephanie J. Urdang

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Urdang learned to hate the apartheid regime from her socialist parents. At the age of twenty-three, no longer able to toler- ate its grotesque iniquities, she chose self-exile and emigrated to the United States. From the perspec- AVAILABLE NOW tive of an anti-apartheid activist, a feminist and 304 pages journalist, she tracked and wrote about the slow, Paper 978-1-58367-667-7 inexorable demise of apartheid, as well as the victory $23.00| £18.99 | $31.95Can over Portuguese colonialism in Africa. She trekked Cloth 978-1-58367-668-4 through the liberated zones of Guinea-Bissau; $95.00 | £75.00 | $132.95Can returned repeatedly to newly independent Mozam- e-book available bique where she witnessed the impact of the conflict fomented by South Africa against its neighbor; and participated in the vibrant divestment movement in the United States. Urdang’s memoir maps out her quest for the meaning of home, as she grapples with the power of nostalgia, and for the lived reality of with empathy, courage, and a keen eye for historical and geographic detail. This is a personal narrative, beautifully told, of a journey traveled by an indefati- gable exile who, while yearning for home, continues to question where, as a citizen of both South Africa and the United States, she belongs.

STEPHANIE J. URDANG is the author of two books on Africa, And Still They Dance: Women, War, and the Struggle for Change in Mozambique and Fighting Two Colonialisms: Women in Guinea-Bissau. She has worked as a gender specialist and advisor on Gender and HIV/ AIDS for the United Nations, and as a freelance journalist. She lives in Montclair, New Jersey, and returns regularly to South Africa.

Cat2018.indd 4 12/8/2017 12:29:10 PM The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, and Capitalism in Seventeenth-Century North America and the Caribbean

Gerald Horne AVAILABLE JANUARY In his latest book, eminent historian Gerald Horne 280 pages digs deeply into Europe’s colonization of Africa and the New World, when, from Columbus’s arrival until Paper 978-1-58367-663-9 the Civil War, some 13 million Africans and some 5 $25.00 | £18.99 | $34.95Can million Native Americans were forced to build and Cloth 978-1-58367-664-6 cultivate a society extolling “liberty and justice $95.00 | £75.00 | $132.95Can for all.” The seventeenth century was, according e-book available to Horne, an era when the roots of slavery, white supremacy, and capitalism became inextricably tangled into a complex history involving war and revolts in Europe, England’s conquest of the Scots and Irish, the development of formidable new weaponry able to ensure Europe’s colonial dominance, the rebel merchants of North America who created “these United States,” and the hordes of Europeans whose newfound opportunities in this “free” land amounted to “combat pay” for their efforts as “white” settlers. Horne provides a deeply researched, harrowing account of the apocalyptic loss and misery that likely has no parallel in human history. This is an essential book that will not allow history to be told by the victors. It has never been more vital, Horne writes, “to shed light on the contemporary moment wherein it appears that these malevolent forces have received a new lease on life.”

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.

“Gerald Horne is one of the great historians of our time.”

Cat2018.indd 9 12/8/2017 12:29:11 PM The Russians Are Coming, Again The First as Tragedy, the Second as Farce

Jeremy Kuzmarov and John Marciano

The Cold War waged between the United States and from 1945 until the latter's dissolution in 1991 was a great tragedy, resulting in millions of civilian deaths in proxy wars, and a destructive arms AVAILABLE MAY race that diverted money from social spending and 256 pages nearly led to nuclear annihilation. The New Cold War Paper 978-1-58367-694-3 between the United States and Russia is playing out $19.00 | £16.00 | $26.95Can as farce—a dangerous one at that. Cloth 978-1-58367-695-0 In this timely new book the authors argue that $95.00 | £70.00 | $132.95Can the Democrats’ strategy, backed by the corporate e-book available media, of demonizing Russia and Putin in order to challenge Trump, is not only dangerous, but also, based on the evidence so far, unjustified, misguided, and a major distraction. They deliver a panoramic narrative of the First Cold War, showing it as an all- too-avoidable catastrophe run by the imperatives of class rule and political witch-hunts. This important, necessary book includes accounts of the wisdom and courage of the First Cold War's victims and dissi- dents, and will inspire a fresh generation of radicals in today's new, dangerously farcical times.

Cat2018.indd 10 12/8/2017 12:29:11 PM Can the Working Class Change the World?

Michael D. Yates

One of the horrors of the capitalist system is that slave labor, which was central to the formation and growth of capitalism itself, is still fully able to coexist alongside wage labor. But, as points out, it is the fact of being paid for one's work that vali- AVAILABLE AUGUST dates capitalism as a viable socioeconomic structure. 224 pages Beneath this veil of “free commerce” lies a founda- Paper 978-1-58367-710-0 tion of immense inequality. Yet workers have always $19.00 | £16.99 | $26.95Can rebelled. They've organized unions, struck, pick- Cloth 978-1-58367-711-7 eted, boycotted, formed political organizations and $95.00 | £70.00 | $132.95Can parties. But, Marx argued, because capitalism is the e-book available apotheosis of class society, it must be the last class society: it must, therefore, be destroyed. And only the working class, said Marx, is capable of creating that change. In his latest book, Michael D. Yates asks if the working class can, indeed, change the world. Deftly factoring in such contemporary elements as the rise of identity politics and the nature of work itself, Yates asks if there can, in fact, be a thing called the work- ing class? If so, how might it overcome inherent divi- sions of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and location to become a cohesive and radical force for change? Forcefully and without illusions, Yates supports his arguments with relevant, clearly explained data, historical examples, and his own personal experi- ences. This book is a sophisticated and prescient understanding of the working class, and what all of us might do to change the world.

MICHAEL D. YATES is associate editor of Monthly Review and Editorial Director of Monthly Review Press. For more than three decades, he was a labor educator, teaching working people in venues across the United States.

The Communist Manifesto Eurocentrism $17.95 | PB2075 HISTORY | PHILOSOPHY Since its first publication twenty years ago, Eurocentrism has become a classic of radical thought. Written by one of the world’s foremost political economists, this original and provocative essay takes on one of the great “ideological deformations” of our time: Eurocentrism. Rejecting the dominant Eurocentric view of world histo- ry, which narrowly and incorrectly posits a progression from the Greek and Roman classical world to Christian feudalism and the European capitalist system, Amin EUROCENTRISM Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels Samir Amin presents a sweeping reinterpretation that emphasizes the crucial historical role played by the Arab Islamic world. Throughout the work, Amin addresses a broad set of concerns, ranging from the ideological nature of scholastic metaphysics to the meanings and shortcomings of contemporary Islamic fundamentalism.

OR L Samir Amin of Revolution Considering that Marx’s Capital, written before the emergence of imperialism DWIDE VA L as a decisive factor in capitalist accumulation, could provide no explanation for the persistent “underdevelopment” of the countries of the “global South,” Amin advances several important theoretical concepts extending traditional Marxian views of capitalist evolution.
