Marx Memorial Library

THE historic Marx Memorial Library in London was the launch venue for an English translation of a classic work by legendary Iraqi communist Ibrahim Allawi on Wednesday evening.

The book, Readings in Al-Mushtarak, originally published in Arabic in 1983, has been translated by Ali al-Assam and Majed Allawi and is a major contribution in socialist thought, helping to break down European dominance over Marxist ideas and practice.

Joining the translators to launch the book were long time comrade of Mr Allawi Faruk, Mustafa Rasool, alongside renowned left-wing activists Hani Lazim and Keith Bennett.
