Estimados amigos,
Reflecting on twenty years of COSATU, 1985-2005
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) was formed in 1985 at the height of township struggles against apartheid. COSATU is one of the key working class organisations that contributed immensely to the struggle against apartheid and capitalism. This year marks COSATU's 20th anniversary and this provides the South African working class and its organisations an opportunity to draw a balance sheet of the federation since its inception in 1985.

May 2005
Historical Materialism seeks reviewers for the following books in German. Reviews should be submitted in English. Our policy is to publish substantial review articles, usually ranging between 3,000 and 6,000 words, and it is important that books should be discussed in terms of their relevance to Marxist theory. The Guidelines document for HM reviewers will be sent on request.
