The new pamphlet is based on a talk given by Waters at a 1998 conference in Havana sponsored by Cuban publishing house Casa Editora Abril. Waters is the president of Pathfinder Press and is a member of the National Committee of the Socialist Workers Party.

The talk, which originally appeared in the Feb. 16, 1998, issue of the Militant, provides an introduction to the unique political role that Pathfinder literature plays in the world today.

For more than 80 years, Pathfinder and its various predecessors, Waters explains, "have had one and only one objective: to publish and distribute as widely as possible the books, pamphlets, and magazines that are necessary to advance the construction of a communist party in the United States--an objective inseparable from the building of a communist movement internationally."

The Spanish edition of the pamphlet was published last month, just in time for the Guadalajara Book Fair in Mexico. It sold well there, with more than 40 people purchasing copies.
