Left Hook Exclusive: Essay Contest

The Editors

Left Hook is pleased to announce an essay contest for leftist youth, sponsored by the good folks at Monthly Review.

Here are the details:

Monthly Review magazine wants to know why you are a radical. Write a short essay (500 words or less) telling us why you are a radical or how you became a radical, and what fighting for a better world means to you. The first twenty-five respondents will receive a one-year subscription to Monthly Review magazine. The two essays adjudged by MRAssociate Editor Michael Yates to be the best will each receive $50. Send your essay to Michael at mikedjyates@msn.com, along with your mailing address and your university e-mail address for verification (if in college). Deadline for submissions is January 1, 2005.

Good luck!

Sincerely,
Derek Seidman and M. Junaid Alam
