Revolutionary

Who was Jesus? Why does he Still Matter?

By: EDITED EDITED,INTRODUCED BY TOM HOLLAND

It is often observed that no historical figure has had a greater impact on the world than Jesus Christ. Why is that? And what difference does his impact make to the world today? It is also often said that Jesus was a 'revolutionary', and numerous books have appeared in recent years claiming just that - from the wild and sensational to the serious and respectable. This book, written by influential authors reflecting a diversity of expertise and points of view, considers the claims that continue to be made about Jesus, whether by believers or nonbelievers.

Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War

By: By: Ernesto Che Guevara

Che Guevara on his life as a revolutionary. From 1956 to 1959, the people of Cuba struggled against immense odds to emerge victorious from years of brutal dictatorship, poverty, and corruption. Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War is Che Guevara's classic account of the popular war that transformed a nation, as well as Che himself from troop doctor to world-famous revolutionary. Featuring a preface by Che Guevara's daughter, Aleida Guevara, and a new translation with Che's own corrections incorporated into the text for the first time, this edition also contains extraordinary photographs of the period. For a long time we have wanted to write a history of our revolution . . . But the tasks are many, the years go by, and the memory of the insurrection is dissolving in the past. These events have not yet been properly described, events which already belong to the history of the Americas. Che Guevara

Living Politics, Making Music

The Writings of Jan Fairley

By: Jan Fairley,edited by Simon Frith,Ian Christie

The late Jan Fairley (1949-2012) was a key figure in making world music a significant topic for popular music studies and an influential contributor to such world music magazines as fRoots and Songlines. This book celebrates her contribution to popular music scholarship by gathering her most important work together in a single place. The result is a richly informed and entertaining volume that will be of interest to all scholars in the field while also serving as an excellent introduction for students interested in popular music as a global phenomenon. Fairley’s work was focused on the problems and possibilities of cross-cultural musical influences, fantasies and flows and on the importance of performing circuits and networks. Her interest in the details of music-making and in the lives of music-makers means that this collection is also an original and illuminating study of music and politics. In drawing on Jan Fairley’s journalism, this volume also offers students a guide to various genres of world music, from Cuban son to flamenco, as well as an insight into the lives of such world music stars as Mercedes Sosa and Silvio Rodríguez. This is inspiring as well as essential reading.

Guerrilla Warfare

By: By: Ernesto Che Guevara

A classic text on revolution by Che Guevara. A bestselling classic for decades, this is Che Guevara own incisive analysis of the Cuban revolution a text studied by his admirers and adversaries alike. This is an account of what happened in Cuba and why, explaining how a small group of dedicated fighters grew in strength with the support of the Cuban people, overcoming their limitations to defeat a dictator army. This new edition features a revised translation and a foreword by Harry Pombo Villegas, Ches comrade in Bolivia and Africa, who was one of the few survivors of Ches Bolivian campaign. "The positive feature of guerrilla warfare is that each guerrilla fighter is ready to die not just to defend an idea but to make that idea a reality. That is the essence of the guerrilla struggle. The miracle is that a small nucleus, the armed vanguard of a great popular movement that supports them, can proceed to realize that idea, to establish a new society, to break the old patterns of the past, to achieve, ultimately, the social justice for which they fight" Che Guevara
