This Week at Revolution Books, NYC
September 24, Thursday @7:00pm

COLIN ASHER author of
"THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL: 
The Secret Prison History of American Music"

Official Brooklyn Book Festival "Bookend Event" 
At Revolution Books in Harlem

In his recently-published book, Colin Asher tells of the extraordinary music created within the walls of America's brutal, racist prison system. The book follows five musical artists whose careers span the 20th century—folk and blues singer Lead Belly, jazz pianist Elmo Hope, country singer Johnny Cash; soul musician Ike White; and rap artist Tupac Shakur.

The Midnight Special is a celebration of joyful, angry, and rebellious words and sounds... and is an indictment of a cruel system of incarceration that cannot suppress beauty.

Joining Colin Asher in discussion on September 24:
-Aidan Levy author of Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins
-Raymond Lotta Revolution Books, NYC


We expect a crowd for this special event. Please RSVP at Eventbrite HERE.

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!

DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!
