(Pathfinder Around the World column)
 
BY DOUG NELSON  
Over 400 Pathfinder titles were sold June 27-30 at the U.S. Social Forum in Atlanta. The bulk of them were books and pamphlets geared toward building the communist movement today.

Thousands attended workshops and presentations during the event on a wide range of political and social questions. Many were introduced there to Pathfinder books and the Militant.

Leading the titles sold were the 100 copies of New International, a magazine of Marxist politics and theory. Popular were the two most recent issues, featuring the articles “Capitalism’s Long Hot Winter Has Begun” and “Our Politics Start with the World.”

Sixty-seven participants bought copies of the pamphlet The Working Class and the Transformation of Learning: The Fraud of Education Reform Under Capitalism.

Books that contain the most important political lessons of the Cuban Revolution were also very popular. Over 80 such titles were sold. These included The First and Second Declarations of Havana (42), Cuba and the Coming American Revolution (22), and Che Guevara Talks to Young People (17).

Two pamphlets, The Communist Manifesto and Malcolm X Talks to Young People, were also in demand, each with 10 copies sold.
