Issue 31…heads up

If you are in the Boston area, are interested in politics, activism, the Left, and Marxism, and you want to know more about how to get involved, you’ve come to the right place.

On this website, you will find a link to the current issue of our publication The Platypus Review here. This issue features a panel at the New School looking at art’s relationship to society by exploring questions of critical theory and art. It features two book reviews: one critical review of Sherry Wolf’s Socialism and Sexuality–the article complicates the relationship between capitalism, the Left, and sexual liberation through the LGBT movement.  Also,  a review of recent edited anthology of the writings of Ulrike Meinhof, Red Army Faction leader.

Let us know what you think. More info to follow about coffee breaks and reading groups where these things can be discussed…
