Can somebody give me the name of a good Socialist book NOT written by Marx, Lenin, etc. Ive read all of those, I am looking for a more recent (last 30 years or so) book.
Thanks

The other America by Michael Harrington (1997)

The Snarling Citizen by Barbara Ehrenreich (1995)

Restoring hope: Conversations on the Future of Black America Cornel West (1997)

Not Your Father’s Union Movement: Inside the AFL-CIO by Jo Ann Mort

try "Towards a Socialist America" - Red Celtic stole some of the other ones i was gonna tell you (hehe)... This book is just a bunch of great essays.. SOME date back to the 50s but most are within the last 30 years..

Another very good book by Harrington is The Twilight of Capitalism, which, though out of print, is available online at used book sites, which is where I got mine. Well worth it, too.

Chomsky???

Chomsky is an anarchist. He is known for critisizing communism. I like Chomsky though, most of his works focus sole on capitalism and american government.

if you are interested in latin america and communism in latin amercia i would recommend las venas abiertas de latinoamerica by eduardo galeano.
