This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

*The Latest From "The New York Review Of Books" Corner- Victor Serge's "Unforgiving Years"
Click on title to link to a "The New York Review Of Books" review of a book of old time revolutionary Victor Serge's book "Unforgiving Years" about the anti-Stalinist struggle and the defeatism within that movement in the late 1930s and into the 1940s as the Stalinist juggernaut rolled on. Although, in the end, Victor Serge was a political opponent of our revolutionary perspective he nevertheless wrote, and that is the case here as well, thoughtful books about the problems of modern revolutionary politics. I have reviewed several of them in this space in trying to figure the enigma of this fallen brother. I am trying to see how I can put the whole article in this space. Later on this.
