Avakian

A Major Talk by Bob Avakian,
Chairman of the Revolutionary
Communist Party, USA

Autobiography of Bob Avakian:

From Ike to Mao and Beyond
My Journey from Mainstream America to Revolutionary Communist
A Memoir by Bob Avakian

Bob Avakian has written a memoir containing three unique but interwoven stories. The first tells of a white middle-class kid growing up in ’50s America who goes to an integrated high school and has his world turned around; the second of a young man who overcomes a near-fatal disease and jumps with both feet into the heady swirl of Berkeley in the ’60s; and the third of a radical activist who matures into a tempered revolutionary communist leader. If you think about the past or if you urgently care about the future ... if you want to hear a unique voice of utter realism and deep humanity ... and if you dare to have your assumptions challenged and your stereotypes overturned ... then you won’t want to miss this book.

Marxism and the Call of the Future
Conversations on Ethics, History, and Politics

Bob Avakian and Bill Martin

This book offers readers a rare chance to witness a fascinating encounter between a radical social theorist and philosopher and a visionary communist leader and thinker. The challenging and unpredictable dialogue bristles with insights and provocations. Avakian and Martin wrestle with big questions that have to do with the state of the world and the possibility for radical change. The scope and relevance of Marxism, and the nature and reach of communist revolution, are at the heart of this rich and lively dialogue.

" . . . so important that it should stand on the shelf of everyone who cares about the destiny of the political Left. . . . marks the beginning of a new approach."

from the foreword by Slavoj Zizek, author of Iraq: The Borrowed Kettle and The Sublime Object of Ideology
