Dear Friends and Comrades,
Attached is an announcement of a conference next May in Havana which I
have been helping to organise. The theme, "Karl Marx and the Challenges of
the 21st Century," is one that should interest listmembers, and the hope is
to have papers distributed in advance and a series of continuing panels
('commissions') which maximise discussion among participants.
Among those who have already indicated their intention to present papers
are Greg Albo, Robert Albritton, Samir Amin, Patrick Bond, Werner Bonefeld,
Paul Burkett, Alexander Buzgalin, Al Campbell, Paresh Chattopadhyay, Simon
Clarke, Han Deqiang, Heinz Dieterich, Elizabeth Dore, Gerard Dumenil,
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Helio Gallardo, Marta Harnecker, Martin
Hart-Landsberg, Remy Herrara, John Holloway, Francois Houtard, David Kotz,
Georges Labica, Michael Lebowitz, Hein Marais, Terrance McDonough, Istavan
Meszaros, Dimitri Milonakis, Simon Mohun, Fred Moseley, Trevor Ngwane, Leo
Panitch, James Petras, Robert Pollin, Richard Westra and Brigitte Young.
If you are interested in presenting, unfortunately there is a relatively
short deadline that has been set (although there may be some flexibility--
in Cuba there generally is). Another possibility is to serve as a paper
discussant; if you are interested in this (or have any other specific
questions ), write to me with a copy to Nchamah Miller
<secretariat@cubaconfmarx21.com>, indicating the subject area you would prefer.
Also, could you please circulate this to any other lists where you think
this conference will be of interest. Thanks.
in solidarity,
mike
