For every person who reads this text on the printed page, many more will read it on a computer screen or mobile device. It’s a situation that we increasingly take for granted in our digital era, and while it is indicative of the novelty of twenty-fi rst century capitalism, it is also the key to understanding its driving force: the relentless impulse to commodify our lives in every aspect.

These trends are in turn accompanied by the dra- matic restructuring of work arrangements, opening the way for new contradictions and new forms of labor solidarity and struggle. This book is a force- ful critique of our dizzying contemporary moment, one that goes beyond notions of mere connected- ness or free-fl owing information to illuminate the entrenched mechanisms of exploitation and control at the core of capitalism.

CHALLENGEOF IMPARTIALITY Challenge of Impartiality Salim Lamrani, translated by Larry R. Oberg SALIM LAMRANI PREFACE BY EDUARDO GALEANO Foreword by Eduardo Galeano

In this concise and detailed work, Salim Lamrani addresses questions of media concentration and corporate bias by examining a perennially controver- sial topic: Cuba. Lamrani argues that the tiny island nation is forced to contend not only with economic isolation and a U.S. blockade, but with misleading or downright hostile media coverage. He takes as AVAILABLE NOW his case study El País, the most widely distributed 160 pages Spanish daily. El País (a property of Grupo Prisa, the Paper 978-1-58367-471-0 largest Spanish media conglomerate), has editions $16.00 | £14.00 | $17.95Can aimed at Europe, Latin America, and the United Cloth 978-1-58367-472-7 States, making it a global opinion leader. $70.00 | £45.00 | $76.95Can Lamrani wades through a swamp of reporting and uses the paper as an example of how media con- e-book available glomerates distort and misrepresent life in Cuba and the activities of its government. By focusing on eight key areas, including human development, internal opposition, and migration, Lamrani shows how the media systematically shapes our understanding of Cuban reality. This book provides an alternative view, combining a scholar’s eye for complexity with a journalist’s hunger for the facts.

SALIM LAMRANI is Docteur ès Études Ibériques et Latino-américaines at the University of Paris–Sorbonne Paris IV, and associate professor at the University of La Réunion. He is also a widely published French journalist specializing in Cuban–American relations. He is the author of The Economic War Against Cuba: A Historical and Legal Perspective on the U.S. Blockade.

Marta Harnecker, translated by Fred Fuentes New Paths toward Twenty-First Century Socialism

Winner of Venezuela’s prestigious “Liberator’s Prize for Critical Thought”

One of Latin America’s most incisive socialist thinkers, Marta Harnecker, grapples with the question that has bedeviled every movement for radical social change: how do you construct a new world within the framework of the old? Harnecker draws on lessons from socialist movements in Latin America, AVAILABLE NOW especially Venezuela, where she served as an advi- sor to the Chávez administration and was a director 224 pages of the Centro Internacional Miranda.

She combines analysis of concrete events with a refi ned theoretical understanding of grassroots democracy, the state, and the barriers imposed by capital. For Harnecker, twenty-fi rst century socialism is a historical process as well as a theoretical project, one that requires imagination no less than courage. She is a lucid guide to the movements that are fi ghting to build a better world, and an important voice for those who wish to follow that path.

MARTA HARNECKER is the author of over eighty books and monographs in several languages. She has been director of the Memoria Popular Latinoamericana research center in Havana, Cuba and the Centro Internacional Miranda in Caracas, Venezuela. Harnecker was born in Chile, studied with Louis Althusser in the 1960s, and edited the magazine Chile Hoy (Chile Today) during Salvador Allende’s Popular Unity government.

“Marta Harnecker has provided us with an essential guide for both assessing Latin America’s left turn—its groundbreaking accomplishments and oft en over- whelming impediments—and more importantly for charting a path forward. Th is book is of global importance.”—George Ciccariello-Maher, author, We Created Chávez: A People’s History of the Venezuelan Revolution

How a queer socialist poet can save America from itself

Life in the United States today is rife with uncer- tainty: about our jobs, our mortgaged houses, our retirement accounts, our health, our marriages, and the future that awaits our children. For many, our lives, public and private, have come to feel like the discomfort and unease you experience the day or two before you get really sick. Our life is a scratchy throat. John Marsh offers an unlikely remedy for this widespread malaise: the poetry of Walt Whitman. AVAILABLE FEBRUARY Mired in personal and political depression, Marsh 256 pages turned to Whitman—and it saved his life. In Walt We Cloth 978-1-58367-475-8 Trust is a book about how Walt Whitman can save $25.00 | $27.95Can America’s life, too. e-book available Marsh identifi es four sources for our malaise— death, money, sex, democracy—and then looks to a particular Whitman poem for relief from it. He makes plain what Whitman wrote and what he believed by showing how they emerged from Whitman’s life and times, and by recreating the places and incidents that inspired Whitman to write the poems. Whit- man, Marsh argues, can show us how to die, how to accept and even celebrate our (relatively speaking) imminent death. Just as important, though, he can show us how to live: how to have better sex, what to do about money, and, best of all, how to survive our fetid democracy without coming away stinking ourselves. The result is a unique blend of biography, literary criticism, manifesto, and a kind of self-help.

JOHN MARSH is associate professor of English at Pennsylvania State University. He is the author of two previous books: Class Dismissed: Why We Cannot Teach or Learn Our Way out of Inequality and Hog Butchers, Beggars, and Busboys: Poverty, Labor, and the Making of Modern American Poetry. He lives in State College, Pennsylvania, with his wife and daughter.

“Once every generation or so, we need a book like this one to remind us why, in the twenty-fi rst century, it is still so essential to keep Whitman close at hand.” —Ed Folsom, Professor of English, Th e University of Iowa; editor, Walt Whitman Quarterly Review; co-director, Walt Whitman Archive

Lebowitz sets out to answer this question fi rst by examining Marx’s Critique of the Gotha Programme, and from there investigates the experiences of the Soviet Union and more recent efforts to build socialism in Venezuela. These essays repay careful reading and refl ection, and prove Lebowitz to be one of the foremost Marxist thinkers of this era.

Marc Pilisuk and Jennifer Achord Rountree

The all-pervasiveness of violence makes it seem like an unavoidable, and ultimately incomprehensible, aspect of the modern world. But, in this detailed and expansive book, Marc Pilisuk and Jennifer Rountree demonstrate otherwise. Widespread violence, they argue, is in fact an expression of the underlying social order, and whether it is carried out by military forces or by patterns of investment, the aim is to strengthen AVAILABLE MAY that order for the benefi t of the powerful. 256 pages The Hidden Structure of Violence examines the Paper 978-1-58367-542-7 costs of direct violence, including military prepared- $25.00 | £17.99 | $27.95Can ness and the social reverberations of war, alongside Cloth 978-1-58367-543-4 the costs of structural violence, expressed as poverty | | and chronic illness.

“The regular thoughtful and prescient insights into the real nature of the economy . . . have provided a steady hand to guide the understanding of the disastrous crises into which the United States and global economies are falling today, and the ways in which the world might escape.” —NOAM CHOMSKY

Since 1949, Monthly Review has built a tradition of accounting for what is new with the equally vital task of seeing the longer process. That tradition, as summarized by Paul M. Sweezy, is to see the present as history. Monthly Review has described the process that has brought global capitalism to its crisis, while maintaining absolute independence from any political group.
