And, unlike a lot of critical theory, the book is intelligible and easy to read. It would make a welcome addition any OWS-style people's library or intro-level college class.

Harry E. Vanden and Marc Becker are well known for their important contributions to the study of Latin American Marxism, Latin American revolutionary politics and Jose Carlos Mariategui's thought. Their new joint contribution is a volume that makes available to English readers a considerable number of Mariategui's shorter texts... Mariategui, an undoubtedly gifted journalist, political author and literary critic, offers readers engaging and rich perspectives—mainly but not exclusively Latin American and Marxist ones—on some of the main issues that concerned European and Latin American progressive public opinion at the time. These translations are a welcome and useful aid for all engaged in teaching Latin American history and literature, the history of socialist ideas, indigenismo, world history, third world studies and so on.

The 2013 edition of Socialist Register is titled The Question of Strategy. However, because of the themes which this edition addresses, it could be titled 'What is to be Done?' The editors have designed this volume in conjunction with the Registers for 2011 and 2012. The aim of those two volumes was to analyze the global financial and economic crisis. The 2013 volume extends that analysis, but offers a more concentrated focus on the 'choices faced by the Left today, the models of strategy available to it, and the innovations that are being made by groups as they organize in diverse
settings.'
