[Iowa-dx] Fwd: New from Haymarket Books: Vive la Revolution, Meaning of Marxism

[hhart@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu]

NEW TITLES FROM HAYMARKET BOOKS


Mark Steel's Vive la Revolution is an uproariously serious work of =20
history. Brilliantly funny and insightful, it puts individual people =20
back at the center of the story of the French revolution, telling this =20
remarkable story as it has never been told before.

"Thank goodness ... for Mark Steel. Engagingly lighthearted while =20
clearly thorough, the author has taken the events of the French =20
Revolution and given them a human face, as well as neatly poking fun =20
at the over-pomposity with which our recent historians have dealt with =20
the period."
--Observer

Also just released is Paul D'Amato's The Meaning of Marxism:

This book is a lively and accessible introduction to the ideas of Karl =20
Marx, as well as other key Marxists, with historical and contemporary =20
examples. The Meaning of Marxism shows that a "radical, fundamental =20
transformation of existing society" is indeed not only possible, but =20
urgently necessary.

"Marx and Engels understood that to change the world, it is necessary =20
to understand how that world works, and to learn the effective levers =20
for its transformation. This book is for those who are just beginning =20
to embark on that same road today."
