Best Selling Books by Alice Waters

Betty Fussell is an inspiring badass. She''s not just the award–winning author of numerous books ranging from biography and memoir to cookbooks and food history; not just a winner of the James Beard Foundation''s Journalism Award who was inducted into their "Who''s Who of American Food and Beverage" in 2009; and not just an extraordinary person whose fifty years'' worth of essays on food, travel, and the arts have appeared in scholarly journals, popular magazines and newspapers as varied as The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times, Saveur, and Vogue. This is a woman who at eighty–two years old (and despite being half–blind) went deer hunting for the very first time in the Montana foothills with her son, Sam (as described in her 2010 essay for the New York Times Magazine.) She got her deer. This is a woman who declared in a 2005 essay for Vogue that she had to teach herself Latin and German from scratch (on top of teaching herself how to cook) as a young twenty–one year old bride, because "housewifery wasn''t enough." Indeed, for Fussell one subject is never enough. Counterpoint is thrilled to be publishing this selected anthology of her diverse essays.

A chapter in the chronicle of the Cuban Revolution, as told by those on the front lines of that ongoing epic. Armando Choy, Gustavo Chui, and Moisés Sío Wong-three young rebels of Chinese-Cuban ancestry-threw themselves into the great proletarian battle that defined their generation. They became combatants in the clandestine struggle and 1956-58 revolutionary war that brought down a U.S.-backed dictatorship and opened the door to the socialist revolution in the Americas. Each became a general in Cuba''s Revolutionary Armed Forces. Here they talk about the historic place of Chinese immigration to Cuba, as well as more than five decades of revolutionary action and internationalism, from Cuba to Angola, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Betty Lou Beets is a perfect historical example of how multifaceted crime can be, how a victim could become an aggressor, or an aggressor may adopt the mask of victimhood, and how all is not necessarily as it seems. Convicted for murdering two men and assaulting or attempting to kill four, Betty Lou''s story is one that would send chills down the spine of any man from any era. Only the fourth woman to be executed for murder, despite the overall statistics hovering around forty to fifty cases of capital punishment per year, her crimes were too gruesome and cold for the court to offer her a lesser sentence... or were they? As we shall see when we delve into her history, despite Betty Lou''s extensive criminal record and constant charges against her from ex husbands and her own children, the justice system was eager to give her a way out of the death sentence and allow her to live her natural life out in prison. And although there were some mitigating circumstances, it is telling that Betty Lou Beets almost got away with a life sentence in a situation where many others would have been executed without remorse.

-- International conference in Havana on "Socialism on the threshold of the 21st century" -- Twelve-part series "Che Guevara and the Cuban revolution"; articles and interviews by fellow revolutionists who knew and worked with Che -- Fifth congress of the Communist Party of Cuba -- Cuban generals speak out.

El socialismo sólo podrá ser construido por hombres y mujeres libres que trabajen juntos para sentar los cimientos de una sociedad nueva y al mismo tiempo se transformen a sí mismos. Este compromiso fue defendido en la acción por Ernesto Che Guevara en los primeros años de la revolución cubana. Hoy sigue siendo un legado vivo para el pueblo trabajador de Cuba.

"To think that a socialist revolution in the U.S. is not possible, you would have to believe not only that the ruling families of the imperialist countries and their economic wizards have found a way to `manage? capitalism. You would also have to close your eyes to the spreading imperialist wars, civil wars, and economic, financial, and social crises we are in the midst of."?Mary-Alice WatersCaracas, Venezuela, November 2007Part of a wide-raging debate on ?The United States: a possible revolution? at the 2007 Venezuela International Book Fair, Waters explains in these pages why a socialist revolution in the United States is possible. Why revolutionary struggles by working people are inevitable''initiated not by the toilers, but forced upon us by the crisis-driven assaults of the propertied classes. As a fighting vanguard of the toilers emerges, the outlines of these coming class battles can already be seen.

"Without understanding the devastation of the lives of working-class families in regions like West Virginia, and the vast increase in class inequality since the 2008 crisis, you can''t understand what''s happening in the United States." A giant has begun to stir. Hillary Clinton calls them "deplorables" who inhabit "backward" regions between New York and San Francisco. But tens of thousands of teachers and school employees from West Virginia, Oklahoma, and beyond set an example in 2018 with their victorious strikes. Working people across Florida mobilized and won restoration of voting rights to more than one million former prisoners. Drawing on the best fighting traditions of the oppressed and exploited producers of all skin colors and national origins in the US, they fought for dignity and respect for themselves, their families, and for all working people. "Erudite, thoughtful and thought-provoking, In Defense of the US Working Class is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, community, and academic library..."--Midwest Book Review.
