We will upload here in this section;

a - Books prepared by or in connection with EFLR;

b - And all the available works which has working class as their foci and/or  EFLR regards as a “must read” resource for the working class intellectuals.

As a first step in this direction, we have uploaded  a (.pdf ) file of Marksizmde İşçi Sınıfının Kapsamı ve Türkiye (The Scope and Extent of The Working Class in Marxism and Turkey, 1990, in Turkish), a valuable resource which was written by dear working class researcher Ms E. Engin in 1990.
This work is important both because of its object and approach to the problem. As the author has emphasized at the end of the book, “Turkey is a sea of workers.” And by the virtue of this fact, it is EFLR’s responsibility and duty to encourage and support the researchers.

c - We also hope to give prominent place to any relevant academical work, working papers, discussion papers, reports, articles and statistical data (in Turkish, or originally in English, or in any other language) as much as the authors, publishers permit us to do so. Of course it is not necessary to repeat the fact that all the contents will represent the views of the author, not EFLR.

We will try to upload the translation of any work that was written in languages other than Turkish, together with its original (copyright rules apply), so that one may compare them for trustworthiness.

We will be more than happy, if you have any positive ideas, proposals which you think may contribute to our endeavours, please contact us by writing to bilgi@emarvakfi.org. We will review them asap and come back to you.
