News and Letters Committees invites you to a discussion on:
‘Marxist-Humanism: A Half-Century of Its World Development’
The Raya Dunayevskaya Collection is now online
Come to a discussion on what it means historically and in the moment that the Raya Dunayevskaya Collection is now available on the web. The extensive papers of Raya Dunayevskaya’s organizational and philosophic participation in the revolutions of the 20th Century—on Black masses as vanguard of the American Revolution, on the state-capitalist nature of the Russian Revolution turned into its opposite, on coal miners and other workers confronting job-killing automation, on women’s contribution as revolutionary force and as reason, on the philosophic challenge to our state-capitalist age—have until now been available publicly only at Wayne State University’s Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in Detroit, Mich., and other select libraries across the world. But this rich history, including exchanges with Leon Trotsky, Natalia Trotsky, C.L.R. James, Silvio Frondizi, Adrienne Rich, Erich Fromm, and hundreds more is now available as a contribution to preparation for revolution at: rayadunayevskaya.org
