"LA ERA DE LA REVOLUCION PERMANENTE"
"the Spanish edition of The Age’ of Permanent Revolution: A Trotsky Anthology has just been published in Mexico City by Ediciones Saeta. This is the selection from Leon Trotsky's writings made by George Novack which has won well-deserved recognition for. its represéntativeness and balance in presenting the major contributions ard wide-ranging interests of the Russian revolutionary leader. The idea for an anthology of this kind originated with the late C. Wright Mills, who enlisted Novack's aid in working it out.
The Spanish edition includes the introduction by Isaac Deutscher explaining the timeliness of an anthology of the writings of the "persecuted, maligned, and misunderstood" leader who "left a deeper and more lasting mark on the age" than probably any of the other great political figures of our century “with the exception of Lenin."
Besides the complete text of the English edition, including the very useful notes prepared by George Novack, the Spanish contains an additional chapter (No. 16) "For a. Socialist United States of Latin America." This consists of extracts from two interviews with the Argentine trade-union leader Mateo Fossa, an extract from Trotsky's defense of Mexico's right to expropriate the imperialist oil holdings, and part of an article which Trotsky had begun at the time he was assassinated -- “Trade Unions in the Epoch of Imperialist Decay." The notes for this chapter were prepared by-.Profesor César Nicol4as Molina Flores, who was also in charge of the translating team. The 383-page paperback | book is well printed and includes an index. ; The - publication of this anthology in Spanish is an event ‘to be celebrated inview of the growing interest throughout Latin America in Leon Trotsky and his contributions. Much of the material will prove to be of the highest interest among revolu-— tionists in their current discussions on problems of théory and ‘politics involving the struggle for national freedom and socialism.
