A Spectre Haunting on the Communist Manifesto by China Mieville. The incendiary pamphlet has never ceased providing fuel for the fire and hearts of those who dream of a better world. In Mieville's brilliant interpretation, the Manifesto is like a great comet whose periodic return blinds the sky with its light and urgency. Read this and be dazzled by its contemporaneity.
Featuring Thulani Davis on The Emancipation Circuit: Black Activism Forging a Culture of Freedom, a monumental history of freedpeople organizing amid the Civl War and Reconstruction.
