Also loved a lot of titles from the Foreign Languages Press including the PFLP's Strategy for the Liberation of Palestine, Vicki Legion's Constructive Criticism: A Handbook, and J. Moufawad-Paul's Politics in Command: A Taxonomy of Economism. Perhaps my favorite of all is Jun Borras' two-volume Competing Views and Strategies on Agrarian Reform, which deepened my understanding of the land question in the Philippine context. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
