Record sales of Pathfinder Press titles at 2024 Fête de l’Humanité
Brétigny-sur-Orge, France — Hundreds of thousands attended this year’s 3-day festival Sept. 13-15. The fête is a mix of politics and entertainment, with concerts, debates, art exhibits and dozens of book kiosks.

A record number of books were sold at the Pathfinder Press booth where the just-published French edition The Fight Against Jew-Hatred and Pogroms in the Imperialist Epoch was featured.

The Jewish Question by Abram Leon and books by Thomas Sankara were top sellers. Other best-sellers included Labor, Nature, and the Evolution of Humanity: The Long View of History, Are They Rich Because They’re Smart? and Malcolm X, Black Liberation and the Road to Workers Power by Jack Barnes.

But the number one best-seller was The Fight Against Jew-Hatred and Pogroms in the Imperialist Epoch: Stakes for the International Working Class. A young woman, 18 years old, wrote to a Pathfinder volunteer after the event that she had already read the book. “It’s great!” she said. “How can I buy more books to offer to my friends?”
