[ecrea] Mayday Manifesto 1968 reissue and event

Tue May 21 07:32:50 GMT 2013




Today, Soundings are reissuing the Mayday Manifesto of 1968, originally edited by Stuart Hall, Edward Thompson and Raymond Williams. The Manifesto was a major public intervention by the New Left. It was released with 70 signatories and sold over 10,000 copies. Our aim in republishing the text is to offer this both as a historical document of intrinsic interest and to remind readers that the intellectual work of presenting the possibility of a more democratic, equal and just society has a long tradition in this country.

The Manifesto has a new introduction by Michael Rustin (UEL) and he will be discussing it with Madeleine Davis (QMUL) in a seminar on Thursday 23rd May 6-8pm at the Marx Memorial Library.

Both seminar and text are free. To book a place at the event please email Katharine Harris (katharine /at/ lwbooks.co.uk) <mailto:(katharine /at/ lwbooks.co.uk)>
