The three texts this book, all written in vastly different eras --The
Communist Manifesto (1848) by Marx and Engels, Reform or Revolution
(1899) by Rosa Luxemburg and Socialism and Man in Cuba (1965) by
Ernesto Che Guevara--illuminate socialist ideas of the 19th and 20th
centuries.
For a new generation of activists, these are classic revolutionary
writings by four famous rebels, including The Communist Manifesto by
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels; Reform or Revolution by Rosa
Luxemburg; and Che Guevara's Socialism and Man in Cuba. Includes an
introduction by Cuban Marxist intellectual Armando Hart and a preface by
US radical poet Adrienne Rich.
The essays in this book, Manifesto, were written by three relatively
young people--Karl Marx when he was 30, Rosa Luxemburg at 27, Che
Guevara at the age of 37. Born into different historical moments and
different generations, they shared an energy of hope, an engagement with
history, a belief that critical thinking must inform action, and a
passion for the world and its human possibilities. Here are urgent
conversations from the past that are still being carried on, among new
voices, throughout the world.
