Classics in Activity Theory, reprints of English translations first published by Progress Publishers in the 1970s, of the second generation of Soviet followers of Lev Vygotsky. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, while remaining in the public domain, these works have become unavailable, in most cases even on the second hand market. And yet there is vast research community across the world which builds on Vygotsky and Activity theory, particularly in education departments. Each of the three books beginning the series is a collection of the English translations from one of the three authors: Alexei Leontyev’s The Development of Mind, Alexander Meshcheryakov’s Awakening To Life and Evald Ilyenkov’s The Ideal in Human Activity, plus a short preface by Prof. Mike Cole of the University of California, San Diego.

9 March 2012: Added to the Early American Marxism of the MIA’s History Section, is a treasure trove of documents and letters from the early 1920s leadership of first years of the Communist Party of America/Communist Labor Party:

Letter to the Executive Committee of the Communist International in Moscow from the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of America in New York, Jan. 19, 1921. With the Executive Committee of the Communist International putting on maximum pressure to united the divided American Communist movement into a single organization, the anti-unity majority of the Communist Party of America found its continued obstructionism increasingly difficult to explain.

Memorandum to the Executive Committee of the Communist International in Moscow from the Communist Unity Committee in New York City, Jan. 21, 1921. With both the CPA and the UCP attempting to sabotage American Communist unity on the Communist International's terms, each for their own reason, it was left to pro-unity elements from both parties to provide unbiased information and to attempt to build consensus from the bottom up.

“Call for a Special Convention of the Communist Party of America. ” [December 1920] This is the convention call for an extraordinary 3rd Convention of the Communist Party of America (“majority”). The call stated that the convention was necessary to bring the program and tactics of the CPA into “perfect conformity with the decisions adopted and policies determined upon by the Communist International, especially as enunciated in the various theses and the conditions of affiliation.”

UCP Unity Bulletin No. 3. [circa Dec. 7, 1920] Third mimeographed bulletin from the Central Executive Committee of the United Communist Party to its membership, informing them of ongoing unity negotiations with the rival Communist Party of America. Specific paid dues numbers are provided for the four months to be considered in apportioning delegates to a unity convention with the CPA, suddenly jumping from 2,906 in July and 3,289 in August 1920 to a highly unlikely 5,661 in October.

“A Social Rat’s End: Coward and Squealer Begs for Mercy from a Capitalist Judge -- Max Cohen and his Final Groan.” (The New Age) [April 13, 1922] Interesting background detail on the life saga of Max Cohen, secretary of the Left Wing Section of the Socialist Party.

“Letter to Maximilian Cohen in New York from the CPA Executive Secretary Charles Dirba Notifying Him of His Expulsion.” [Jan. 17, 1921] As an advocate of prompt unity with the rival Communist Labor Party of America, New York dentist and CPA Central Executive Committee member Max Cohen was a black sheep in the pasture.

”Wholesale Arrests of Communists in Buffalo: Headquarters of Communist Party Raided: Many Men and Two Women Arrested: Other Arrests to Be Expected” (The New Age) [events of Dec. 28, 1919] With the massive and misnamed “Palmer Raids” (planned and directed by J. Edgar Hoover) mere days their launch, the Lusk Committee of the New York Legislature conducted a raid of its own against the Communist Party of America's organization in Buffalo, New York.

“The Workers Party Convention,” by Philip Kerr [events of Dec. 30, 1923 to Jan. 2, 1924] First-hand account of the third national convention of the Workers Party written by an activist in the rival Proletarian Party of America.

“Letter to All Branches of the Workers Party of America from C.E. Ruthenberg, Executive Secretary.” [published Jan. 14, 1924] “State of the Party” -type message by the newly re-elected Executive Secretary of the Workers Party of America to the party membership, published in the pages of the Daily Worker.

“Winitsky Hears of Pardon Action Two Days Later: Gets Copy of Freiheit by Accident.” (Daily Worker) [Jan. 16, 1924] Short news account in the official English-language daily of the Workers Party of America detailing the “strange manner” in which party leader Harry Winitsky initially learned of his pardon by New York Governor Al Smith.

"Testimony of Sheriff George I. Bridgman in the Trial of C.E. Ruthenberg,"< by John Hearley [April 20, 1923] First hand account of the opening of the trial of C.E. Ruthenberg for alleged violation of the Michigan Criminal Syndicalism Law, based upon his participation in the underground convention of the Communist Party held at an isolated resort near Bridgman, Michigan in August 1922.

”Ruthenberg Opens Testimony in His Defense,” by Jay Lovestone [Morning, April 26, 1923] Report of preliminaries of the Ruthenberg trial for alleged violation of the Michigan Criminal Syndicalism law by the Communist Party leader's right hand man, Jay Lovestone.

“Ruthenberg Permitted to State Teachings of Communist Party,” by Jay Lovestone [Afternoon, April 26, 1923] Lovestone documents extensive maneuvering between the prosecution and the defense to limit Ruthenberg's testimony as to the overriding principles of the Communist Party of America — a shift in strategy from that followed in the just concluded trial of William Z. Foster, which resulted in a hung jury.

“The Ruthenberg Trial,” by Caleb Harrison [Morning, April 27, 1923] Press release of the Workers Party's Caleb Harrison detailing the morning of the second day of defense testimony in the Michigan trial of C.E. Ruthenberg.

“The Ruthenberg Trial,” by Caleb Harrison [Afternoon, April 27, 1923] A Workers Party view of the afternoon session of the second day of defense testimony in the Criminal Syndicalism trial of party leader C.E. Ruthenberg for participation in the August 1922 Bridgman Convention of the CPA.

“C.E.R.’s Trial,” by Caleb Harrison [Morning, April 30, 1923] Continued coverage of the Ruthenberg trial, entering the third day of presentation of the defense.

“The Negro Problem is Important,” by Otto E. Huiswoud [April 30, 1923] Short piece by top black Communist Otto Huiswoud directed to a sympathetic party audience and distributed through the Workers Party of America News Service. Huiswoud notes that the one-tenth of the American population of African ethnic extraction are the “most ruthlessly exploited of any working class group.”.
