Noel Ignatiev on CLR James
Tonight Noel Ignatiev came to Wooden Shoe books here in Philly to present his piece on CLR James, the World View of CLR James, also the forward to a new book recently released on PM Press titled A New Notion.
Ignatiev talks about James' rejection of Soviet Communism, his cricket journalism and his view of the new society showing itself as internal antagonisms emerge in conflicts within and between classes. He illustrates the latter nicely with some fun stories of workplace slagging, sabotage and organizing.

Relaunch of Prison Health News!
Prison Health News
Dear friends and colleagues,
After a few years break, Prison Health News is back and better than ever -- with four extra pages of health care and advocacy information in each issue, and a network of over 2,000 subscribers and contributors in prisons and jails across the country.
In 2001, Prison Health News was launched to meet a critical need for information written by and for people who have been in prison or are currently behind the walls. Our readers are living inside a system that denies them prevention tools and treatment information about HIV, hepatitis, and other health issues. They are dealing with medical neglect, daily humiliations driven by intense stigma, and the destruction of their communities by mass imprisonment. Prison Health News works to build community across the prison walls that divide us.
