The Politics of Passion
The Politics of Passion is the first comprehensive collection of the writing and art of Dr Norman Bethune. A Canadian medical pioneer and a communist, Bethune gained fame during the 1930s while serving in the Spanish Civil War and participating in China's struggle against Japanese invasion. This book sheds light on the man, the artist, and the revolutionary. It uncovers new historical material relating to several controversies surrounding Bethune.

Black Women in the Ivory Tower, 1850-1954
Evans chronicles the stories of African American women who struggled for and won access to formal education, beginning in 1850, when Lucy Stanton, a student at Oberlin College, earned the first college diploma conferred on an African American woman.

Las vidas del Dr. Bethune
Las vidas del Dr. Bethune complementa otras muchas investigaciones previas llevadas a cabo tanto por los Stewart como, en el caso español, por Jesús Majada, comisario de la exposición La carretera Málaga-Almería, visitada por casi cinco mil personas en la Universidad de Salamanca en octubre de 2006. En palabras del profesor Rodríguez Celada, director de la colección editorial "Armas y Letras" y autor del prólogo, nadie podía permanecer indiferente ante "el genio extemporáneo, el líder indiscutible, el adalid temerario, el jefe autoritario, el paladín romántico, un ser humano completo, con sus virtudes y defectos repartidos de forma desigual".
Bethune in Spain
Norman Bethune (1890-1939) was a man who had everything, and yet had nothing. Although he had achieved international prominence as a surgeon, he was unhappy in his personal life and deeply frustrated by a failed attempt to introduce medicare to Canada. An uncompromising humanitarian in search of a cause, Bethune became immersed in the Spanish Civil War. In Bethune in Spain, Roderick Stewart and Jesús Majada recount Bethune's achievements in Spain and the events that led to his decision to assist the Loyalist forces. The narrative contains Bethune's letters and reports, some of them reproduced here for the first time, as well as newspaper articles, and interviews with him. It covers his crea...
