About Our Masthead

 

The illustration in the masthead of this publication, With Sober Senses, is an 1843 political cartoon entitled “Prometheus Bound.” It comments on the Prussian government’s suppression of the Rheinische Zeitung, a newspaper Karl Marx edited in 1842 and 1843. Marx is chained to the printing press; the bird gnawing at him is the Royal Prussian eagle.

Marxist-Humanist Archives

This website’s Archives page contains numerous writings by Raya Dunayevskaya from 1941-1987 and some additional Marxist-Humanist writings. More documents will be added, including some not available elsewhere.

The major archive of Dunayevskaya’s works, The Raya Dunayevskaya Collection––more than 17,000 pages in addition to her books, audios, and videos––is housed in Wayne State University’s Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs, Walter P. Reuther Library in Detroit, MI. The Guide to the Collection is available here, and microfilm of the papers is on sale from Wayne State.

The Collection is now digitized here. Paper copies of the Guide and Supplemental Guide to the Collection are available from MHI upon special request.

Dunayevskaya’s books are not digitized; they are available for purchase through our Literature page, along with some of her pamphlets and other Marxist-Humanist writings.
