---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vijay Prashad <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2017 00:09:16 -0500 Subject: Teesta Setalvad's memoir.
Dear Friends, We, at LeftWord Books, are very pleased to let you know that Teesta Setalvad's memoir - *Foot Soldier of the Constitution *- is now out on Amazon (in the Kindle version) and will, on 26 Jan, be out in the print version. You can pre-order the book at our website - http://mayday.leftword.com/book/foot-soldier-of-the-constitution/9789380118437/ . [Image of the front cover] More than anything, however, I hope you will read the book, write about it, tell your friends. In the course of my work at LeftWord, I have not been happier with a book that not only offers us the life story of one of the most important activists of my generation, but also offers the real Teesta as opposed to the demonized portrait put forward by this government and mirrored by the media. When Teesta and I began to talk about this book in 2013, the attack on Teesta had become very sharp - and has only sharpened since as she has written this book and we have worked on it. That attack has not ended and does not look likely to end. It is the easiest way for people in this government to avoid the real conversation - complicity in the violence of Bombay 1993 and Gujarat 2002. Please let me know what you think of the book. Warmly, Vijay. -- Vijay Prashad Chief Editor, LeftWord Books 2254/2A Shadi Khampur New Ranjit Nagar New Delhi 110008 INDIA Visit our website at leftword.com. Follow us on twitter at @leftwordbooks.
