Nowhere are the questions of revolutionary strategy that today confront men and women on the front lines of struggles in the Americas addressed with greater truthfulness and clarity than in the First and Second Declarations of Havana, adopted by million-strong assemblies of the Cuban people in 1960 and 1962. These declarations which were circulated widely in the Americas at the time stand today as they did more than four decades ago as manifestos of revolutionary struggle by working people the world over. Includes new preface by Mary-Alice Waters, special 12-page photo section, glossary, chronology, index.

Mary-Alice Waters
Author · 9 books
Socialist feminist, journalist and activist in the United States. Waters became involved in Trotskyist politics at a young age, and joined the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) in the 1960s. She became the editor of their youth paper, Young Socialist, and the national secretary of the Young Socialist Alliance. In the early 1980s, Waters, along with Jack Barnes and others in the SWP leadership, began to reject the label of "Trotskyism" and the theory of Permanent Revolution, in favour of building links with the Cuban Communist Party and Sandinista National Liberation Front. Today, Waters is the President of the Pathfinder Press and the editor of New International magazine. She has written a number of books on political topics.
