   “Excellent. . . .The book gives one a clear understanding of the relationship of Guevara's thought to traditional Russian and Marxist philosophy.” —Choice Reviews   In this seminal exploration of Che Guevara’s contributions to Marxist thinking, Michael Löwy traces Che's ideas about Marxism both as they related to Latin America and to more general philosophical, political, and economic issues. Now revised and updated, this edition includes a chapter on Guevara's search for a new paradigm of socialism and a substantive essay by Peter McLaren on Che’s continued relevance today. Löwy portrays Guevara as a revolutionary humanist who considered all political questions from an internationalist viewpoint. For him, revolutionary movements in Latin America were part of a world process of emancipation. Löwy considers especially Che's views on the contradiction between socialist planning and the law of value in the Cuban economy and his search for an alternative road to the “actually existing socialism” of the Stalinist and post-Stalinist Soviet bloc. Che’s varied occupations—doctor and economist, revolutionary and banker, agitator and ambassador, industrial organizer and guerrilla fighter—were expressions of a deep commitment to social change. This book eloquently captures his views on humanity, his contributions to the theory of revolutionary warfare, and his ideas about society’s transition to socialism, offering a cohesive, nuanced introduction to the range of Guevara's thought.   “An excellent classroom tool for anyone teaching about Latin America or revolution.” ―Science & Society “[This book] provides us with the picture of [Guevara’s] great, flexible, and searching mind.” —Carleton Beals   “Michael Löwy’s brief but penetrating book takes Che Guevara not as a romantic adventurer but as a serious revolutionary militant.” ―Telos

  My America - Langston Hughes on...

  Best known as the leader of the Harlem Renaissance, the celebrated poet and writer Langston Hughes believed in the power of art as resistance. What can we learn from his works today? 
  Randal M. Jelks delivers this revelatory portrait of the celebrated poet, essayist, playwright, and American artist Langston Hughes. My America traces Hughes's journey from a child captivated by the wonder of Kansas City to cosmopolitan witness in Paris, New York, Mexico City, and Madrid. We encounter Hughes as a young man discovering the pulse of modern life in a world on the verge of exploding metaphorically and literally. His experiences informed his work and his thinking on art, democracy, and activism. 
  Langston Hughes is one of the few American writers who consistently wrote about democracy from a joyous perspective, and My America explores how his works speak to the political anxieties and crises we face today. Jelks deftly examines the themes in Hughes's work, including creative expression, communal dignity, class struggle, and human suffering and what they mean for our inner well-being as democratic persons and political participants. 
  With care and no-holds-barred insight, My America removes the veneer of respectability often placed on Hughes's work and life to reveal his political adeptness. In a world threatened by fascism, Hughes's writing wasn't afforded the luxury of subtlety. He made a spiritual and political decision to stand on the side of the oppressed. He believed art should be practiced for the sake of justice. And democracy can be practiced with joy.

  The Thirteen Pillars - Builds...

  Shawn C. O'Neil

  The Thirteen Pillars is the first book in the Doctrine of Discipline series. It is not self-help. It is doctrine. 
  Author and combat veteran Shawn C. O'Neil studied thirty-nine historical exemplars across 2,500 years of warfare, philosophy, science, and leadership to answer one question: what are the actual operating principles the most disciplined people in history share? 
  The result is thirteen pillars. Each pillar contains a law. Not a suggestion. Not a guideline. A law — non-negotiable, observable, repeatable. 
  Where David Goggins gave testimony, this book gives architecture. Where Jocko Willink wrote tactical leadership, this book goes deeper into the philosophical root system underneath it. Where Jordan Peterson built meaning through mythology, this book tests those frameworks in real historical lives. Where Ryan Holiday studied Stoicism from the outside, this book is written from inside the tradition by someone who lived it. Where John C. Maxwell codified the laws of leadership, this book codifies the laws of discipline that leadership requires. 
  The thirty-nine figures span combat, resistance movements, philosophy, governance, science, and art. Marcus Aurelius. Frederick Douglass. Harriet Tubman. Viktor Frankl. Nikola Tesla. Miyamoto Musashi. Some are famous. Several are deliberately obscure because the unknown exemplars carry the clearest signal. They built discipline to survive, not to perform. 
  This is a book about order, standards, and building a life that holds under pressure. It is written for men who are done with motivation and ready for doctrine. 
  The Thirteen Pillars. Builds the Man. 
  Available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook from Black Haus Publishing.
