Travellers of the World Revolution
The Communist International was the first organised attempt to bring about worldwide revolution and left a lasting mark on 20th-century history. The book offers a new and fascinating account of this transnational organisation founded in 1919 by Lenin and Trotsky and dissolved by Stalin in 1943, telling the story through the eyes of the activists who became its "professional revolutionaries". Studer follows such figures as Willi Mnzenberg, Mikhail Borodin, M.N. Roy and Evelyn Trent, Tina Modotti, Agnes Smedley and many others less well-known as they are despatched to the successive political hotspots of the 1920s and '30s, from revolutionary Berlin to Baku, from Shanghai to Spain, from Nazi G...

Luta subterrânea
A segunda metade dos anos 1930, na história da esquerda brasileira, sempre se viu como que envolvida em uma névoa que não permitia entrever nada além da construção, fundada em brutal repressão, do Estado Novo do ditador Vargas. Particularmente no que se refere ao Partido Comunista (PCB), esse período era tratado pela historiografia em uns poucos parágrafos, que ressaltavam o processo de aniquilamento físico e orgânico dos comunistas e, como parte integrante dele, uma suposta cisão trotskista. Este trabalho do historiador Dainis Karepovs a iluminar a cena. Centrando-se na cisão acontecida nas fileiras do Partido Comunista do Brasil (PCB), nos anos de 1937-1938 e tendo como pano de fundo o processo de consolidação da ditadura 'estadonovista' de Getúlio Vargas, 'Luta Subterrânea' esmiúça importantes debates que então ocorriam na esquerda brasileira, apoiando-se em vasta e inédita documentação, que vai desde os arquivos da repressão até os da Internacional Comunista em Moscou, passando por importantes acervos pessoais, como os de Herminio Sacchetta.
Pas de Politique Mariô! Mario Pedrosa e a Política
Mario Pedrosa (1900-1981) chegou à política pela arte e ao longo de sua vida jamais se separou de ambas. Mas até hoje, no entanto, Pedrosa é mais reconhecido e estudado pela sua trajetória como crítico de arte que pela sua contribuição à política brasileira. Esta, em seus perfis e biografias, fica restrita a algumas frases e poucos parágrafos que não vão além de caracterizá-lo como o introdutor das ideias de Leon Trotsky no Brasil, o fundador do jornal Vanguarda Socialista e o filiado número 1 do Partido dos Trabalhadores. No entanto, ao longo de praticamente seis décadas, desde a sua aproximação com a política, desde a virada dos anos 1910 para os anos 1920 até seu fale...

Everything is Possible
The fascinating history of how the antifascist movement of the 1930s created "the left" as we know it today In the middle years of the Great Depression, the antifascist movement became a global political force, powerfully uniting people from across divisions of ideology, geography, race, language, and nationality. Joseph Fronczak shows how socialists, liberals, communists, anarchists, and others achieved a semblance of unity in the fight against fascism. Depression-era antifascists were populist, militant, and internationalist. They understood fascism in global terms, and they were determined to fight it on local terms. In the United States, antifascists fought against fascism on the streets of cities such as Chicago and New York, and they connected their own fights to the ones raging in Germany, Italy, and Spain. As he traces the global trajectory of the antifascist movement, Fronczak argues that its most significant legacy is its creation of "the left" as we know it today: an international conglomeration of people committed to a shared politics of solidarity.
Lula
Lula is among the greatest political figures in Brazilian history. The only president in the country with a working-class background, combined with a party that was profoundly original in its roots, he exercised charismatic power and influence in a more lasting way than any other public figure in the republican period. Since 2011, Fernando Morais, one of Brazil's leading writers, has gained direct, frank and frequent access to Lula. To these dozens of hours of testimonies, he has added a reporter's flair and captivating prose to compose a biography that paints a picture in all its grandeur and complexity. In a narrative that makes use of flashforwards and flashbacks to maintain an electrifying pace, Morais goes from Lula's childhood to the annulment of his convictions, in 2021 - passing through the new unionism, the ABC strikes, the foundation of the PT and the first election campaign.
