DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nThe Comintern and the Formation of 
 the CPUSA\n\nIn his recent book, The Communist International and US 
 Communism, 1919-1929 (Haymarket Books, Chicago, 2015), author Jacob A 
 Zumoff, “presents a nuanced, granular analysis of the relationship 
 between the CPUSA and the Comintern, detailing the central role played by 
 the International in the creation of the party (and) in ensuring that the 
 party placed work among black workers at the heart of its programme. . . .  
 In short, without the Communist International, there would have been no 
 Communist Party in the US.” (review by Tony Collins in Marx and 
 Philosophy). All this paved the way for the great CPUSA achievements on the 
 struggle for black liberation in the 1930's. Our ICSS comrade, Elazar 
 Freidman, will share his thoughts on the role of the CPUSA in the black 
 liberation struggle and lead our discussion of the entire topic.\n\nSunday, 
 Sept 27, 2015 - 10:30 am to 12:30 pm\n6501 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland (just 
 North of Alcatraz Ave.)\n\nSeating is limited, so plan to come early. We

 NPML\n\nAbout Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\nA weekly discussion
