"Still the only full-length study of the achievements and limitations of Lenin's extensive writings on Hegel, Lenin, Hegel, and Western Marxism has become a minor classic.

It takes up as well the debate over Lenin's writings on Hegel among Western Marxists such as Georg Lukács, Henri Lefebvre, C. L. R. James, Raya Dunayevskaya, Lucio Colletti, and Louis Althusser. With a comprehensive new introduction by the author. This book was first published by University of Illinois Press, 1995 (978-02-52-06503-3); with new Introduction by the author"--

Sudan's revolution is not only Arab but also African in a way not seen in the 2011 Arab uprisings. The old regime combined Islamism and a racist form of Arabism with military rule, touching off in response a youthful, democratic, multiethnic, and pro-feminist revolutionary movement that has achieved something akin to dual power.

This presentation will cover the history of discrimination in medical access and treatment and how this exclusion led to a number of nontraditional treatments and cures, some of which are still believed to be effective today.

Hugh and John Farthing, "mid-level" Tory thinkers, were brothers who have been overlooked in Canadian intellectual and political history. They helped construct one of the enduring conservative narratives of mid-twentieth-century Canada. The Farthings posited an anti-Liberal/liberal, monarchistic story that explained not only Liberal political dominance but the concomitant decline of democracy in Canada. At the centre of the Farthings' narrative was the villainous Mackenzie King, motivated by a materialistic, republican vision of society and beholden to French Canada. The Farthings perpetuated a conspiratorial vision of French Canada leading Canadians toward a regulatory Keynesian statism, diluting the body politic of its British and spiritual essence, and facilitating the eventual swallowing of Canada by un-British ideologies. Examining the Farthings' ideas from the 1920s to the 1950s reveals a complexity within conservatism that belies the normative division of Canadian conservatives into neo-liberal and Red Tory camps. The Farthings distrusted the state, especially one controlled by the Liberals. It also demonstrates the reality of a fear of foreignness specific to this narrative and the Tory vision of Britishness: Liberals were equated with "the foreign," incapable of exercising the responsibilities of British constitutionalism, while stolid Tories had to defend this tradition for the future of the nation.

One of the century's greatest Marx editors, Rubel placed Marx's critique of the modern state on an equal footing with Marx's critique of political economy. An erudite scholar who in his Marx Oeuvres I-IV (1963-1994) pointed repeatedly to differences between Marx and Engels, he became a thorn in the side of Stalinist Marx editors, especially in France. Volume IV of Rubel's Marx Oeuvres, published less than two years before his death, offers a good vantage point from which to measure his overall contribution.
