The Lubitz TrotskyanaNet – Research Facilities – Journals |
Education for socialists is the series title of some dozens of unnumbered bulletins (each bearing a distinct title, and most an ISBN) issued in 8.5x11 inches format by the National Education Department of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) [USA] and distributed by SWP’s publishing venture, Pathfinder Press (New York, NY). The scope of the bulletins is ranging from 7 to more than 200 pages, the prices varies from issue to issue.
The SWP for many decades was one of the strongest and most influential sections - although not officially affiliated because of a reactionary U.S. legal prohibition - of the Fourth International (United Secretariat) before fundamentally dissenting and eventually parting from it.
Education for socialists bulletins contain rich source material, primarily compiled from internal bulletins and other papers documenting the internal life, discussions and debates of the SWP and the Fourth International. Thus, some of the issues listed below are highly relevant to research relating to the history of the Trotskyist movement since they are containing documents hardly to find elsewhere except in certain archival depositories. Although most of the bulletins were originally published in the 1960s and 1970s, a considerable portion of them is still available from Pathfinder Press - as a rule in form of later editions (reprints), but without any alteration with regard to the contents and scope. This is to appreciate insofar as the positions reflected in many bulletins have little in common with those positions represented by the SWP leadership of today. By the way it should be mentioned that this bulletin series should not be confused with a series of exact the same title but issued by the British Socialist Workers Party.
Here’s a list of almost all hitherto published Education for socialists bulletins, arranged by title; bulletins we consider particularly relevant with regard to Trotskyism research are highlighted by bold-face title phrase:
Torotsuki-Kenkyu (Trotsky Studies) is a Japanese-language high-level scholarly journal issued by the Torotsuki Kenkyushu (Trotsky Institute of Japan), Tokyo. It can be regarded as the Japanese counterpart of distinguished European journals like Cahiers Léon Trotsky or Revolutionary History. The journal was launched in Autumn 1991; as of Summer 2004, altogether 44 issues (some appearing as double-issues) have been published. While all articles, reviews etc. are in Japanese only, tables of contents are both in Japanese and English. The average scope of the journal is some 200 pages per issue. The format – with exception of the very first issue – is 12.5x18.5 cm.
Torotsuki-Kenkyu (Trotsky Studies) contains almost entirely articles, letters and other writings by Leon Trotsky – a considerable portion of which is appearing in Japanese translation (from English and Russian sources) for the first time – , articles about Leon Trotsky’s life and work and about various aspects of the history of Trotskyism, as well as book reviews and obituaries. The authors are Japanese as well as European, American and Chinese (see author index below), amongst them numerous renowned Western and Russian Trotsky scholars like for example Broué, Mandel, Benton, Breitman, Semenenko. Most of the contributions by non-Japanese authors are translations of articles, obituaries etc. which previously had been published elsewhere, for example in Cahiers Léon Trotsky or Revolutionary History.
Some numbers of the journal are designated as special issues, many numbers are bearing distinct titles and ISBN. A considerable portion of the articles and other contributions published in Torotsuki-Kenkyu (Trotsky Studies) have been uploaded by the Trotsky Institute, thus hundreds of primary and secondary texts relating to Trotsky are available in Japanese language on the WWW now, most of them linked with corresponding on-line versions in English, Russian etc.
Correspondence relating to Torotsuki-Kenkyu (Trotsky Studies) can be sent to The Trotsky Institute of Japan, Atorie Mi-Yu, Bira 4 No. 105, Kumagawa 510, Fussa-city, Tokyo 197, Japan; the journal is distributed by Tsugeshobo shinsha, Publishers, 1-14-1 Koishikawa, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 112, Japan. The price of a single issue is ¥ 2,000. For more details about the Trotsky Institute of Japan you may consult our feature devoted to it, published elsewhere on the pages of TrotskyanaNet.
Within the WWW sites of Torotsuki-Kenkyushu (Trotsky Institute), submenus both in English and Japanese are devoted to the contents of Torotsuki-Kenkyu (Trotsky Studies).

The French-language journal Dissidences was founded 1997/98. The inaugural issue appeared in December 1998. The first 5 issues were published with title Bulletin de liaison des études sur les mouvements révolutionnaires (BLEMR) which from number 6 (Sept. 2000) became the subtitle. Dissidences had a numbering by année (year, volume) and by running number (numéro); as of Spring 2004, altogether six volumes containing numbers 1-14/15 were published, including two double issues [see listing below].
The journal (old series) appeared in Nancy (Eastern France). All hitherto published issues are still available; please contact Jean-Guillaume Lanuque, 154 rue du Maréchal Oudinot, 54000 Nancy, or by e-mail:
jeanguillaume.lanuque@wanadoo.fr.
A relevant change took place at the end of 2005: Dissidences - now without subtitle - began to be published by a well-known publishing house: L'Harmattan (Paris), starting with a new numbering (vol. 1, ISBN 2-7475-9718-0), a new format and distinct titles. - Another change in publisher took place in 2007: beginning with vol. 3 (publ. in Autumn 2007), Dissidences has been published by Le Bord de l'Eau (Latresne). For more information about the journal and for many relevant amendments not contained in the printed issues (e.g. Revue des revues, Notes de lecture, Textes inédits), you should visit Dissidences’ excellent WWW site. A Lettre des amis de Dissidences is being disseminated to subscribers as e-mail.
Dissidences is edited and funded by Les Amis de Dissidences, an association (association régie par la loi du 1er juillet 1901). The scientific committee consists of French and foreign historians and social scientists, most of them being well-known in the field of Trotsky(ism) research, as for example Matéoo Alaluf, Paul Alliès, Roberto Bianchi, Michel Dreyfus, Eros Francescangeli, Michael Löwy, Claude Pennetier, Enzo Traverso, Marcel van der Linden. The editorial board board consists (as at 2009) of Y. Beaulieu, C. Beuvain, H. Chalton, V. Chambarlhac, S. Delouvée, F. Gaudichaud, D. Hamelin, O. Neveux, S. Moulain, S. Paquelin, S. Rizet, J.-P. Salles, F. Schoumacher, F. Thomas. Jean-Guillaume Lanuque, co-founder of BLEMR-Dissidences, and Georges Ubbiali are functioning as directors
Dissidences is conceived by its founders and editors as an independent, non-sectarian forum for collection and exchange of information and opinion, aiming at the furtherance of interdisciplinary research (historical, sociological, psychological ...) on the revolutionary movements of the 19th and 20th centuries - with special focus on Trotskyism - and particularly intends to co-ordinate all those research work done by individuals at various universities and related facilities. As its motto, Dissidences cites Marc Bloch (Apologie pour l’histoire): "Isolé, aucun spécialiste ne comprendra jamais rien qu’à demi, fût-ce à son propre champ d’études. [L’histoire] ne peut se faire que par entr’aide."
Thus, Dissidences from its very beginning has been busy - and successful - in building a network of scholars, students, amateurs and other people sharing a special interest in research and sources about the revolutionary movements, both French and international. In accordance with its just-mentioned tasks, the editors of Dissidences’ lay special emphasis on book reviews (including a considerable number of reviews of relevant academic works such as dissertations, master theses and of similar ‘unpublished’ works), special subject bibliographies and chronologies, features of archives and related research facilities, lists of people engaged in relevant research (mentioning their particular fields of research, their works-in-progress, etc.), list of recent publications (both dependently and independently published writings) and debates.
Most issues of the 'old series' of Dissidences were arranged into the following regular columns: editorial, archive centres, actuality, debates, dossier (special subject features with contributions by various authors and provided with chronologies, documentary appendices, etc.), book reviews and reader’s notes, review of reviews, and (occasionally) list of obituaries.
Dissidences can be considered a very valuable source of information about the topical state-of-the-art with regard to research on Trotskyism and related leftist movements, particularly in France.
