Shifts in world politics boost interest in Pathfinder books
LOS ANGELES — “Books by revolutionary working-class leaders” read the banner over the Pathfinder Books booth at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books April 20-21, 2024 on the University of Southern California campus.
Featured at the booth was the new book The Fight Against Jew-Hatred and Pogroms in the Imperialist Epoch: Stakes for the International Working Class. The book has articles by six leaders of the communist movement going back to V.I. Lenin, the central leader of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.
At the heart of many discussions was the need to oppose Jew-hatred and defend Israel’s right to exist.
“I am happy to see progressive people supporting Israel’s right to exist and giving solidarity,” said one visitor. Others didn’t agree or had mixed opinions but wanted to talk.
More than 200 books were sold with The Fight Against Jew-Hatred and Pogroms in the Imperialist Epoch; The Low Point of Labor Resistance Is Behind Us: The Socialist Workers Party Looks Forward and Are They Rich Because They’re Smart? as the bestsellers.
