Publishing as Anti-Imperialist Practice w/ Iskra Books Editors Talia, David, & Ben

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on several comrades from Iskra Books, a non-profit, all volunteer-run, independent communist publishing company to discuss Publishing as Anti-Imperialist Practice! This discussion also relates to the episode we did two weeks ago with Sina Rahmani of The East Is a Podcast on Radical Independent Media as Anti-Imperialist Practice. We also include the audio of a talk that Henry did on these topics at a China at 75 event hosted by the Friends of Socialist China a few weeks ago. This is a marvelous discussion on an important topic with some incredibly committed comrades. Be sure to check this out, and be sure to check out Iskra Books's catalogue (keeping in mind that physical book purchases support the project, but that the pdfs of all of their books are also available for FREE at iskrabooks.org). You can also keep up to date with their releases by following them on twitter @iskrabooks.

The recently released and forthcoming books from Iskra that we discussed at the end of the episode are available at the following links:

The Lost & Early Writings of James Connolly: 1889 - 1898, edited by Conor McCabe

The Long Transition Towards Socialism and the End of Capitalism by Torkil Lausen

Unequal Exchange and the Prospects of Socialism by The Communist Working Group

Communism - The Highest Stage of Ecology by Guillaume Suing (link forthcoming on the Iskra Books site)
