Title in Arabic: Anti-Dühring.Moscow Progress Publishers 1984.16 REVOLUTIONARY INTERNATIONALIST MOVEMENT. Title in Arabic: Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.1984. Unique collection of predominantly Marxist-Leninist works of the 1970s and 1980s mainly in Arabic and Persian. It provides an exceptional view into the efforts made to persuade the people of the Arabian Peninsula of leftist viewpoints. The works do not represent one common political viewpoint rather they showcase the conflicting strains of leftist realpolitik of the 1970s. The collection includes classical works by Lenin such as an Arabic translation of his Letter to American workers. These books contrast well with for example decidedly anti-Soviet works such as Down with the new tsars! Soviet revisionists' anti-China atrocities on the Heilung and Wusuli Rivers. This pamphlet deals with the conflict between Soviet and Chinese border guards on Zhenbao Island that emerged around 1969 as part of the Sino-Soviet border conflict. Photos in this work show troops arguing Chinese fishermen fighting with Soviet guards and piles of Soviet military gear left abandoned in the snow after their retreat. Some of the works in this collection are probably published by Arabic immigrant groups in the US. The Arabic edition of the Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement was published by the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement RIM that emerged in France and consisted of 17 diverse Maoist groups from around the globe. Its objective was to work towards establishing a new kind of "Communist International" organisation rooted in the Marxism-Leninism-Maoism political philosophy. The Revolutionary Communist Party USA was the American affiliate of this group. Marxist-Leninist bookstores in the Detroit area often stocked Arabic editions of classic communist texts like Lenins Two tactics of social democracy in the Democratic Revolution due to the large local population of Middle Eastern immigrants. This collection contains a rare Arabic edition of the text in published in Moscow by Progress Publishers in 1978. This book as well as others in this collection are rubberstamped May Day Books & Periodicals Detroit on their rear cover. Among the collection are other classics of communist and socialist literature such as Friedrich Engels Anti-Dühring in which he laid out his vision of socialism.A slight outlier in this collection is Stanley Lane-Pooles Coins of the Amawi Khalifehs with the text in English and Arabic and illustrated with black-and-white photographic plates. This reprint of the 1874 edition is still very useful for collectors learning to read the Kufic inscriptions on the coins of the Umayyad period as it contains transcriptions of coin legends in Arabic.With some blind- and/or ink-stamped information on the wrappers and/or flyleaves of several volumes. Some volumes are slightly browned and foxed and show some occasional minor tears not affecting the text. Overall the collection is in good condition. [various publishers], hardcover

196429183<p>A Near Fine copy in a Fine extremely bright unclipped dust jacket. In this essay collection Ralph Ellison examines his antecedents and in so doing illuminates the literature music and culture of both black and white America. His range is virtuosic encompassing Mark Twain and Richard Wright Mahalia Jackson and Charlie Parker The Birth of a Nation and the Dante-esque landscape of Harlem—"the scene and symbol of the Negro's perpetual alienation in the land of his birth." Throughout he gives us what amounts to an episodic autobiography that traces his formation as a writer as well as the genesis of Invisible Man.Not only is Ellison a great writer of fiction but he truly excels as an essayist as he displays in this fine collection of some of his best work in a non-fiction role. He is one of the most cogent and articulate writers in the arena of ideas and assessments of culture and the arts.</p> Random House, hardcover
