THE long awaited republication of Edward Thompson’s William Morris is out this month from Merlin Press at £3.90. Another welcome reissue is Richard Wright’s Native Son (Penguin £1.00), the story of Bigger Thomas, a young Black boy from the slums of Chicago, set in the 1930’s. Virago have just published Life as we have known it, edited by Margaret Llewelyn Davies at £1.25. This is a collection of essays by working-class women describing their lives and experiences, originally published in 1931.
Two new books from Pluto this month are Larissa Reisner, Hamburg at the Barricades (£4.80) and Rosa Levine-Meyer, Inside German Communism (£4.80). Both books focus on class struggle in Weimar Germany; watch out for a pre-publication offer.
