Kaveh Boveiri's Recent Review of Hegel, Marx, and the Necessity and Freedom Dialectic: Marxist-Humanism and Critical Theory in the United States

 Please note that the reviewer's prefatory remarks might appear to some readers to strongly imply my association with the "Marxist-Humanist Initiative". I am not now, nor ever have been, associated with the latter. 

For many years, starting in 1977, until 2007, I worked with Raya Dunayevskaya, the Marxist-Humanist philosopher (until her death in 1987), and others, in the organization News & Letters.
