At the same time, and perhaps more importantly, the insights offered by the League-and discussed by Georgakas and Surkin-about capitalism, labor organizing, racism, solidarity and working class power remain as urgent and relevant today as they were in the 1970s. Having been out of print for a number of years, its republication adds immeasurably to the literature on Black Power, Detroit history, labor history and the history of the Left. Detroit: I Do Mind Dying remains one of the few monographs to take black labor radicalism seriously. Georgakas and Surkin's book focuses on black labor radicalism in Detroit from 1967-1974, examining the League of Revolutionary Black Workers and the cadre of black revolutionaries that worked at its core. In 1998, 23 years after its original publication, South End Press reissued Dan Georgakas and Marvin Surkin's Detroit: I Do Mind Dying, A Study in Urban Revolution.
