Pathfinder Press at Mexico's Guadalajara Book Festival
GUADALAJARA, Mexico —Pointing to books on Cuba’s socialist revolution, the fight for women’s emancipation and titles by Karl Marx, a visitor to the Pathfinder Press booth said she was surprised to see so many books on working-class politics. The high school teacher was one of hundreds who came by the Pathfinder booth at the Guadalajara International Book Fair, Latin America’s largest book festival, held here Nov. 30–Dec.8.
She picked up the new Spanish language edition of Cosmetics, Fashion, and the Exploitation of Women and The First and Second Declaration of Havana for her father, a supporter of the Cuban Revolution. These were among 160 titles bought at the booth with books on politics and the class struggle in the U.S. drawing attention.
The book fair is the second largest in the world, with over 900,000 attending.
After looking through the book, The Fight Against Jew-Hatred in the Imperialist Epoch, one visitor said, “You have really opened my mind, I want to read more.”
