Join award-winning author China Mi\xe9ville and New Yorker contributing writer E. Tammy Kim, for a discussion of Mi\xe9ville\u2019s latest book, "A Spectre, Haunting"\n\nFew written works can so confidently claim to have shaped the course of history as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels's Manifesto of the Communist Party. Since first rattling the gates of the ruling order in 1848, this incendiary pamphlet has never ceased providing fuel for the fire in the hearts of those who dream of a better world. Nor has it stopped haunting the nightmares of those who sit atop the vastly unequal social system it condemns.\n\nIn A Spectre, Haunting, award-winning author China Mi\xe9ville provides readers with a guide to understanding the Manifesto and the many specters it has conjured. Through his unique and unorthodox reading, Mi\xe9ville offers a critical appraisal and a spirited defense of the modern world\u2019s most influential political document.\n\nFor this launch event, Mi\xe9ville will be joined by E. Tammy Kim for a conversation about contemporary capitalism\u2019s rapidly multiplying crises and the Manifesto\u2019s enduring relevance.\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nGet A Spectre, Haunting from Haymarket Books: \n\nhttps://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1990-a-spectre-haunting\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSpeakers:\n\nChina Mi\xe9ville is the multi-award-winning author of many works of fiction and non-fiction.
