Childhood
Foreword by Harrison Salisbury
The son of Nobel Laureates Gunnar and Alva Myrdal, founders of
the Swedish welfare state, tells a story about childhood and about
what it took to become the enfant terrible of Swedish politics
and one of Sweden's leading writers. A personal history that becomes
the story of his time.
Confessions of a Disloyal European
This sixties classic by the author
of Report from a Chinese Village was chosen by the New
York Times as one of ten books "of particular significance
and excellence in 1968."
India Waits
"With poker-hot prose, Myrdal makes us feel each horror
anew, impressing through the force of his writing his conviction
in the unacceptability of hunger, poverty and racism."

Forsaking our Children
Bureaucracy and Reform in a Child Welfare System
By John M. Hagedorn
"This is a solution-offering book. The chord struck is the fate of children, and the question of whether children receive the services they need and deserve...An on-the-ground book...Hagedorn's solutions make sense. He's not asking for more money, just more imagination and, shall we say, vision."

Filmmakers on the Art and Politics of the Cinema
Edited by Gary Crowdus and Dan Georgakas
"In
an age of mindless celebrity profiles and fellating Q and
As, the interviews in Cineaste are among the most consistently
