Tehran daily serializes
‘Teamster Rebellion’
 
The Tehran daily Donya-e-Eqtesad (The World of Economics) is serializing the Farsi-language translation of Teamster Rebellion. The newspaper is sold at newsstands throughout Iran.

In introducing the series, the paper wrote that Teamster Rebellion is “written by Farrell Dobbs, an American communist. The book is published by Talaye Porsoo Publications and is devoted to the struggles of American workers. In the next few issues you will be reading parts of this book.”

The book tells the story of the militant 1934 strikes in the United States that built the industrial union movement in Minneapolis and helped pave the way for the CIO, recounted by a central leader of that battle.

Each installment in the Tehran paper has a photo and caption. The book was originally published in English by Pathfinder. Editions in English, Farsi, Swedish, and Spanish are available from distributors listed on page 8 or pathfinderpress.com.
