The Bahá’í Faith and Marxism: Proceedings of a Conference Held January 1986

The papers collected here formed the basis of lively and far-reaching discussions, which, unfortunately proved too difficult to summarize. . . . A very special note of appreciation must be extended to the three Marxists, who, outnumbered as they were, patiently, graciously, generously, and with great good humour, contributed to the dialogue: Ms. Laurie E. Adkin (Queen's University), Dr. Howard Buchbinder (York University), Dr. Colin Leys (Queen's University). The Bahá'í viewpoint was clearly and ably presented by Dr. Farzam Arbab of Cali, Colombia; Mrs. Sheila Banani, Santa Monica, California; Dr. William Hatcher, Laval University, Quebec City, Canada; and Mr. John Huddleston, International Monetary Fund, Washington, DC.
