As in previous years, Pathfinder will have a booth at the fair, which will run from January 30 to February 9 in Havana, and from there will go to other cities around the island. If past years are anything to go by, the stand will be jammed with visitors eager to browse and read the range of books on revolutionary politics that Pathfinder offers. During past fairs, librarians, students, workers, soldiers, teachers, and others have made requests for Pathfinder titles. In response to this demand, the publisher has donated books to libraries and other cultural institutions.

On the final day of this year’s fair, Pathfinder will make every title in its booth available in Cuban pesos, since many residents of the island do not have access to dollars. This has become a tradition of the publisher’s participation in the fair. Many people who have visited the booth over the years eagerly await the opportunity to expand their access to books on the international class struggle, U.S. politics, the history of the communist movement, the fight for women’s liberation, and a variety of other questions.

This year Pathfinder is bringing several new titles to the Havana fair. Special presentations on three books published in both English and Spanish will be organized. They are: Malcolm X Talks to Young People; Marianas in Combat: Teté Puebla and the Mariana Grajales Women’s Platoon in Cuba’s Revolutionary War, 1956–58; and October 1962: The ‘Missile’ Crisis as Seen from Cuba by Tomás Diez Acosta. To make a contribution, please send checks or money orders made out to the Militant and earmarked "Books for Cuba Fund" to the Militant, 410 West Street, New York, NY 10014.
