The Mandel Reader
Party, Revolution, International: Writings 1953–1990
Most of Mandel's best-known writing is available in English. This reader gathers 11 texts, about 95,000 words, that are not: work on the party, strategy and the International, chosen for its use to the sections of the Fourth International today. Some appeared in English in print long ago but cannot be read online; texts already translated into other languages were preferred, as a sign that the sections were reading them.
Each title links to the work's page, where every version and the scan of the original can be found. A Reader of this kind for Daniel Bensaïd is at bensaid.redmole.org.
