About Haymarket Books
Haymarket Books is a radical, independent, nonprofit book publisher based in Chicago.
Our mission is to publish books that contribute to struggles for social and economic justice
as a vibrant and organic part of social movements and the education and development of a
critical, engaged, international left. Since our founding in 2001, we’ve published more than
five hundred titles. Our authors include Arundhati Roy, Rebecca Solnit, Angela Y. Davis,
Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Amy Goodman, Wallace Shawn, Mike Davis, Winona
LaDuke, Dave Zirin, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor.

“Books can be the sparks for revolution. I am so grateful for all Haymarket Books has done
for the past fifteen years to fuel the subterranean fire of protest. They are my go-to pub-
lisher for radical politics and the ideas we need for our struggles.” —TOM MORELLO

“Haymarket has always led with the notion that ideas sell books, not gimmicks, empty
platitudes, or mainstream marketing hooks. Bringing grassroots organizing to ground-up
publishing, its inimitable staff carries the passion and creativity required to set its authors’
words in motion. In an era of right-wing racism and neoliberal conformity, Haymarket is
a critical platform promoting ideas for mass mobilization and community action.”
—REMI KANAZI, poet and Haymarket author
“Haymarket’s books are vital: they provoke the mindset shifts necessary to fuel challenges
to dominant systems. I’m so grateful that Haymarket exists, because I think that without
it a lot of really crucial books just wouldn’t be published. In general, publishers don’t like
to take risks. Haymarket, on the other hand, realizes that taking risks is at the core of
doing transformative work. Congratulations on your fifteenth anniversary! The world is
a better place with you all in it.”
—MAYA SCHENWAR, Truthout editor in chief and Haymarket author

Abolition for the People
The Movement for a Future
without Policing and Prisons
Edited by Colin Kaepernick

Edited by Colin Kaepernick and featuring a

multitude of voices, Abolition for the People
is a manifesto calling for a world beyond
prisons and policing.

Abolition for the People brings together thirty

essays representing a diversity of voices: polit-
ical prisoners, grassroots organizers, scholars,
and relatives of those killed by the anti-Black
terrorism of policing and prisons. This collection presents readers with a moral
choice: “Will you continue to be actively complicit in the perpetuation of these
systems,” Kaepernick asks in his introduction, “or will you take action to dis-
mantle them for the benefit of a just future?”
Powered by courageous hope and imagination, Abolition for the People
provides a blueprint and vision for creating an abolitionist future in which
communities can be safe, valued, and truly free.
Featuring contributions from:
Angela Y. Davis Robin D. G. Kelley Marlon Peterson
Bree Newsome Bass Dylan Rodriguez Mariame Kaba
Mumia Abu-Jamal Andrea J. Ritchie
Kimberlé Crenshaw Kiese Laymon

“This collection is certain to be an invaluable organizing tool, hopefully leading

to widespread change.” —Booklist

“Kaepernick has assembled a community of visionary thinkers who unequivo-

cally show that the path to freedom requires abolition.” —Barbara Smith, co-
founder, the Combahee River Collective

COLIN KAEPERNICK is a Super Bowl quarterback and New York Times bestsell-
ing author who fights oppression globally. He founded the Know Your Rights Camp,
which advances the liberation and well-being of Black and brown people through
education, self-empowerment, and mass-mobilization.

 Abolition
Politics, Practices, Promises, Volume 1
Angela Y. Davis

A major collection of essays and interviews

from pioneering freedom fighter Angela Y.
Davis

For more than fifty years, Angela Y. Davis

has been at the forefront of collective move-
ments for abolition, feminism, and the ending
of all state violence and oppression. Abolition:
Politics, Practices, Promises, the first of two
important new volumes, brings together an
essential collection of Davis’s essays, conversations, and interviews over the
years, illuminating how her thinking has evolved and sharpened even as she
has remained uncompromising in her commitment to collective liberation.
In pieces that address the history of abolitionist practice and thought in the
United States and globally, the unique contributions of women to abolitionist
struggles, and stories and lessons of organizing inside and beyond the prison
walls, Davis is always curious, always incisive, and always learning.
Rich and rewarding, Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises will appeal to
fans of Davis, to students and scholars reflecting on her life and work, and to
readers new to feminism, abolition, and struggles for liberation.

“An activist. An author. A scholar. An abolitionist. A legend.” —Ibram X. Kendi

“Angela Davis is an obligatory add to your list of must-read black authors.”

Our History Has Always
Been Contraband
In Defense of Black Studies
Edited by Colin Kaepernick, Robin D. G.
Kelley, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

Since its founding as a discipline in 1969,

Black Studies has been under constant
attack by social and political forces seeking
to discredit and neutralize it.

Florida is the front line of an increasingly

pitched battle taking place in schools and
communities across the country. State legislatures are introducing laws to
remove work by Black scholars, including Angela Davis, bell hooks, Kimberlé
Crenshaw, James Baldwin, and many others, from classrooms, libraries, and
curricula in an attempt to hide our radical history from future generations.
Black Studies as a field of knowledge and inquiry is by necessity radical.
It refuses to accept the world as it is—a world of premature Black death and
vulnerability, a world of lethal doses of racial inequity, a world in which Black
people are rendered less than human. By definition, Black Studies has always
been integral to the struggle for human liberation.
Copublished by Haymarket Books and Kaepernick Publishing, Our His-
tory Has Always Been Contraband collects critical voices from the Black radical
tradition. Edited by Robin D. G. Kelley, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, and Colin
Kaepernick, Our History Has Always Been Contraband gives students and non-
students alike access to a history and tradition that is being suppressed.

KEEANGA-YAMAHTTA TAYLOR writes and speaks on Black politics, social

movements, and racial inequality in the United States.

ROBIN D. G. KELLEY is professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in US History

at UCLA.

COLIN KAEPERNICK is a Super Bowl quarterback and New York Times bestsell-
ing author who fights oppression globally.

 #SayHerName
Black Women’s Stories of State
Violence and Public Silence
African American Policy Forum
and Kimberlé Crenshaw
Foreword by Janelle Monáe

Fill the void. Lift your voice. Say Her Name.

Since the movement’s founding in 2014,

#SayHerName has gained international
attention and served as both a rallying cry
and organizing principle in the aftermath of
police killings of Black women.
Black women, girls, and femmes—as young as seven and as old as ninety-
three—have been killed by the police, though we rarely hear their names
or learn their stories. Breonna Taylor, Alberta Spruill, Rekia Boyd, Shantel
Davis, Shelly Frey, Kayla Moore, Kyam Livingston, Miriam Carey, Michelle
Cusseaux, and Tanisha Anderson are among the many lives brutally ended by
the police. The #SayHerName campaign lifts up the stories of these women
and girls in order to build a gender-inclusive framework for understanding,
discussing, and combating police violence.
#SayHerName provides an analytical framework for understanding Black
women’s susceptibility to police brutality and state-sanctioned violence, and it
explains how—through Black feminist storytelling and ritual—we can effec-
tively mobilize a range of communities empowered to advocate for racial and
feminist justice.

KIMBERLÉ CRENSHAW, professor of law at UCLA and Columbia Law School, is a

leading authority in the areas of civil rights; Black feminist legal theory; and race, rac-
ism, and the law. Her work has been foundational in two fields of study now identified
by the terms that she coined: Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality. She co-
founded and serves as the executive director of the African American Policy Forum.

JANELLE MONÁE is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, performer, pro-

ducer, actor, and activist.

Going for Broke
Living on the Edge
in the World’s Richest Country
Edited by Alissa Quart and
David Wallis, from the Economic
Hardship Reporting Project

A collection of compelling, hard-hitting

essays, documentary poems, and pho-
tographs that expose our punitive social
systems, from the ground up

Going for Broke, edited by Alissa Quart and

David Wallis, gives voice to a range of gifted writers who know what it means
to live on the edge. These are journalists for whom “economic precarity” is
more than just another assignment. One essayist and grocery store worker
describes what it was like to be an “essential worker” during the pandemic;
another reporter and military veteran details his experience with homelessness
and what would have actually helped him. These dozens of fierce and some-
times darkly humorous pieces reveal the larger systems that have made writers’
bodily experiences, family and home lives, and work much harder than they
ought to be.
Featuring introductions by a stellar line-up, including Camonghne Felix,
Michelle Tea, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Kathi Weeks, and Astra Taylor,
Going for Broke is eye-opening and moving, as well as instructive of the steps
we can take to change the stalemate in which we find ourselves today.

ALISSA QUART is the executive director of the Economic Hardship Reporting Proj-
ect, which she cofounded in its current incarnation with the late Barbara Ehrenreich.
She is also the acclaimed author of five nonfiction books, including Bootstrapped:
Liberating Ourselves from the American Dream, as well as two books of poetry.

DAVID WALLIS is the managing director of the Economic Hardship Reporting Proj-
ect. He was opinion editor of Forward and deputy editor of the New York Observer. He
is the editor of Killed Cartoons: Casualties from the War on Free Expression.

 Environmentalism
from Below
How Global People’s Movements
Are Leading the Fight for Our Planet
Ashley Dawson

A global account of the grassroots environ-

mental movements on the front lines of the
climate crisis

Environmentalism from Below takes readers

inside the popular struggles for environ-
mental liberation in the Global South. These
communities—among the most vulnerable to but also least responsible for the
climate crisis—have long been at the forefront of the fight to protect imperiled
worlds. Today, as the world’s forests burn and our oceans acidify, grassroots
movements are tenaciously defending the environmental commons and forg-
ing just and sustainable ways of living on Earth.
Scholar and activist Ashley Dawson constructs a gripping narrative of
these movements of climate insurgents, from international solidarity orga-
nizations like La Via Campesina and Shack Dwellers International to local
struggles in South Africa, Colombia, India, Nigeria, and beyond. Taking up
the four critical challenges we face in a warming world—food, urban sustain-
ability, energy transition, and conservation—Dawson shows how the unruly
power of environmentalism from below is charting an alternative path for-
ward, from challenging industrial agriculture to resisting extractivism.
An urgent, essential intervention, Environmentalism from Below offers a
hopeful alternative to the gridlock of UN-based climate negotiations and the
narrow nationalism of some Green New Deal efforts. As Dawson reminds us,
the fight against ecocide is already being waged worldwide. Building on long-
standing traditions of anticolonial struggle, environmentalism from below is a
model for a people’s movement for climate justice—one that demands solidarity.

ASHLEY DAWSON is the author of People’s Power: Reclaiming the Energy Com-
mons, Extreme Cities: The Peril and Promise of Urban Life in the Age of Climate
Change, and Extinction: A Radical History.

Care
The Highest Stage of Capitalism
Premilla Nadasen

An eye-opening reckoning with the care

economy, from its roots in racial capitalism
to its exponential growth as a new site of
profit and extraction

Since the earliest days of the pandemic,

care work has been thrust into the national
spotlight. The concept of care seems simple
enough. Care is about nurturing, feeding,
nursing, assisting, and loving human beings.
It is “the work that makes all other work possible.” But, as historian Premilla
Nadasen argues, we have only begun to understand the massive role that care
plays in our lives and our economy.
Nadasen traces the rise of the care economy from its roots in slavery, where
there was no clear division between production and social reproduction, to the
present care crisis, which acutely impacts an increasing number of Americans.
Today’s care economy, Nadasen shows, is an institutionalized, hierarchical
system in which some people’s pain translates into other people’s profit.
Yet, this is also a story of resistance. Low-wage workers, immigrants, and
women of color in movements such as Wages for Housework, welfare rights,
and the Movement for Black Lives have continued to fight for and practice col-
lective care. These groups and others like them help us envision how, given the
challenges facing us, we can create a caring world as part of a radical future.

PREMILLA NADASEN is a professor of history at Barnard College, Columbia Uni-

versity, where she is currently codirector of the Barnard Center for Research on
Women. Her books include Welfare Warriors: The Welfare Rights Movement in the
United States and Household Workers Unite: The Untold Story of African American
Women Who Built a Movement.

 The Case for Open Borders
John Washington

A beautifully written, broadly accessible,

and forthright argument for a solution to
the migration crisis: open the gates

Because of restrictive borders, human

beings suffer and die. Closed borders force
migrants seeking safety and dignity to jour-
ney across seas, trudge through deserts, and
clamber over barbed wire. In the last five
years alone, at least 60,000 people have died
or gone missing while attempting to cross a
border. As we deny, cast out, and crack down, we have stripped borders of
their creative potential to be cites of cultural exchange, turning our thresh-
olds into barricades.
Journalist and translator John Washington’s The Case for Open Borders
deflates the mythology of national security through border lockdowns, count-
ers the conspiracies of immigration’s economic consequences, and urgently
emphasizes the challenges of climate change beyond the boundaries of nation-
alism. Drawing on detailed reporting and testamonies of those impacted by
borders, along with a rigorous analysis of the economics and ethics of border-
ing, Washington concludes that if we are to seek justice or sustainability we
must fight for open borders.
Washington’s case echoes with the multitudinous voices of people on the
move, a glimpse of what a world with open borders will give to our common
future.

JOHN WASHINGTON is a staff writer at Arizona Luminaria. He is the author of

The Dispossessed: A Story of Asylum at the US-Mexico Border and Beyond and
a translator of books by many authors, including Anabel Hernandez, Sandra Ro-
driquez Nieto. Most recently, Washington translated The Hollywood Kid by Óscar
Martínez and Juan Martínez and Blood Barrios by Alberto Arce, which won a PEN
Translation Award.

Witness
An Insider’s Narrative
of the Carceral State
Lyle C. May

A firsthand account of the death penalty’s

wholly destructive nature

In Witness, Lyle C. May offers a scathing

critique of shifts in sentencing laws, prison
policies that ensure recidivism, and classic
“tough on crime” views that don’t make soci-
ety safer or prevent crime. These insightful
analytical essays explore capital punishment,
life imprisonment, prison education, and prison journalism, as well as what
activism from inside looks like, with the aim of abolishing the carceral state.
No outside journalist can adequately report what happens inside death
row or what it is like to live through thirty-three executions of people you
know. May’s grounded writings in Witness challenge the myths, misconcep-
tions, and misinformation about the criminal legal system and death in prison,
guiding readers on a journey through North Carolina’s congregate death row,
where the author has spent over twenty years of his life.
With a foreword by activist, lawyer, and professor Danielle Purifoy, and
drawing on the work of Angela Y. Davis, Mariame Kaba, and other abolition-
ist scholars, Witness shows there is more to life under the sentence of death
than what is portrayed in crime dramas or mass media. Lyle C. May’s life,
journalism, and activism are a guidebook to abolitionism in practice.

LYLE C. MAY is an Ohio University alum, member of the Alpha Sigma Lambda
Honor Society, and member of the Author’s Guild. His writing regularly appears in
Scalawag magazine, and he guest lectures at universities, high schools, and aca-
demic conferences around the United States. To sign up for May’s newsletter or to

 The Everywhere Atom
A Journey through the Carbon
Cycle and Climate Change
Christine Shearer
Illustrated by Kaz Clarke

Take a wild ride with the carbon atom

through a history of Earth’s climate.

The Everywhere Atom blends science,

humor, and cartoon atoms to explain
how the carbon cycle affects the climate,
today and throughout Earth’s history.
The carbon atom is the basic building
block of life on Earth, and its movement around the planet shapes the climate.
While the carbon cycle is central to understanding climate change, it is often
missing from children’s climate books, making this one a critical addition to
classrooms and libraries.
This engaging guide uses historic creatures that kids love, like dinosaurs
and wooly mammoths, as entry points to understanding the carbon cycle.
While addressing the climate crisis, the book ends with a message of hope:
humans are powerful in numbers and, through collective action, can affect the
whole world, just like carbon atoms.
Balancing the weight of the climate crisis with dynamic illustrations and
humor, the book’s cartoon carbon atoms are designed to engage younger audi-
ences (readers from ages five to nine) and bring some comic relief to the subject,
driving home a central point: carbon is not “bad” in itself; it is how humans
affect the movement of carbon that can make it so powerful and damaging—
which also means the climate crisis can be reversed.

CHRISTINE SHEARER, PhD, is the senior researcher at the energy and climate
organization CoalSwarm. Her writing has appeared in science and media publica-
tions including Nature, Environmental Research Letters, National Geographic, and
the New York Times.

KAZ CLARKE is an artist, illustrator, and graphic designer based in Australia,

whose previous work includes The Whimsical Wisdom of Phoebe. She has also

Florida Water
Poems
aja monet

Inspired by the cleansing water often used

in spiritual baths, aja monet’s second collec-
tion, Florida Water, is an ode to the myriad
ways a poem can rinse, reflect, reveal, and
unravel us.

An honest meditation on migrating to South

Florida for love, connection, and community,
this collection of poems lays bare the chal-
lenging dance between the role of the artist,
lover, and organizer. aja monet confronts the interpersonal truths of commu-
nity organizing while also uncovering Florida’s fraught history with racial
prejudice, maroon communities, and natural disasters. This intimate collection
of lyrical poems compiles the artifacts of her search for belonging and healing
as she wades through the rising tides of climate change, heartbreak, and sys-
temic violence.

“aja monet’s poetry offers us textures of feeling and radical shifts of meaning
that expand our capacity to envision and fight for new worlds. From Brooklyn,
USA, to Hebron, Occupied Palestine, we take a feminist journey through rage
and serenity, through violence and love, through ancient times and imagined
futures. . . . [A] stunning volume.” —Angela Y. Davis, on My Mother Was a
Freedom Fighter

AJA MONET is a surrealist blues poet, storyteller, and organizer born and raised in
Brooklyn, New York. In 2018, she was nominated for an NAACP Literary Award for

 The Limitless Heart
New and Selected Poems (1997–2022)
Cheryl Boyce-Taylor

Encompassing the breadth of Cheryl

Boyce-Taylor’s astounding career, The
Limitless Heart is a time capsule of the
boundless love, care, grief, and fortitude
that make her work so stirring.

With deep empathy, thoughtfulness, charis-

ma, and lyricism, Boyce-Taylor’s work ex-
plores questions of immigration, motherhood,
and queer sensuality, among other themes.
Grief is both an anchor and a door throughout Boyce-Taylor’s poetry, as seen
in Mama Phife Represents, a hybrid of memoir and verse on the death of her
son, Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor of A Tribe Called Quest. Questions regarding
Blackness and Black womanhood in the United States are stitched throughout
her books, and Boyce-Taylor leans into a more overtly defiant political register
in her latest work, We Are Not Wearing Helmets, while maintaining the con-
nective spine of the Trinidadian dialect that appears throughout all her work.
Selections from these books, as well as her other poetry collections, appear in
this new volume.
Curated from Boyce-Taylor’s body of work, The Limitless Heart encapsulates
her progression as a writer throughout the decades of her highly successful career.

CHERYL BOYCE-TAYLOR’S previous books include Raw Air (2000), Night When
Moon Follows (2000), Convincing the Body (2005), and Arrival (2017), which was a
finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize, as well as Mama Phife Represents from Hay-
market Books. Born in Trinidad and raised in Queens, Boyce-Taylor received the
2022 Audre Lorde Award for Lesbian Poetry by The Publishing Triangle.

American Inmate
the album
Justin Rovillos Monson

A rigorous and defiant collection that

subverts contemporary discourse and repre-
sentations of incarceration, of hip-hop, and
of Asian American culture and literature.

Justin Rovillos Monson’s poetic voice is sharp

and irreverent—improvisational yet thought-
ful, musical, and tender—achieving a range
of registers woven seamlessly throughout the
book from the first to the last poem.
Monson’s work challenges his readers with uncomfortable but essential,
urgent, and necessary questions: What does it mean to be in the world and
yet live apart from it? What happens to the minds and bodies of those locked
away? What happens to the minds and bodies of their loved ones? How can
America get free? Braiding personal narrative with contemporary rap lyrics
and institutional language, Monson deepens the nuances and dimensions of
Asian American poetics, prison poetics, and hip-hop poetics with his deft and
experimental writing style.
American Inmate speaks through cages, bars, walls, and borders, collaps-
ing widespread misconceptions and stereotypes regarding incarceration and
shrinking the distance between readers on the outside and the complex interi-
ority of an incarcerated human being. Sometimes slipping, sometimes soaring,
sometimes laughing, sometimes dying, Monson’s fiery debut is a fresh, mov-
ing, elucidative work that will challenge readers to think more critically about
the systems that govern our lives, to imagine with compassion and inclusivity,
and to settle for nothing less than a truly free future that is liberatory for all.

JUSTIN ROVILLOS MONSON was a 2018–2019 PEN America Writing for Justice
Fellow and is currently serving a sentence in the Michigan Department of Corrections.

 O Body
Dan “Sully” Sullivan
Foreword by Adrian Matejka

A collection of moving and tender poems

that delves into questions of masculinity,
fatherhood, home, and learning to live in
and love one’s own body

In his second full-length poetry collection,

Chicago-born poet Dan “Sully” Sullivan con-
siders the male body—its momentum and
privilege when moving through the world,
but also its softness and vulnerability. As the
poems unfold and questions unravel, the book challenges wider social systems
that uphold patriarchal notions of masculinity, seeking a new perspective of
compassion, of self-love.
O Body is also a migration narrative, navigating the physical distances be-
tween cities—the speaker’s movement between Chicago and his new home in
Bloomington, Indiana—and, beyond that, the expansive, immeasurable distanc-
es within the self. Cityscapes come alive on the page and relationships bloom
and deepen as Sully explores love, fatherhood, and family; here, traditional as-
sumptions regarding masculinity and beauty are called into question through
the speaker’s tenderhearted wondering.
As more and more people awaken to the realization that the patriarchy
oppresses people of all genders, Sully’s work in O Body offers a much-needed
narrative of that shifting perspective. This deeply self-aware and big-hearted
book holds space for reflecting on one’s physical body and interiority: the com-
plex relationship between the two as well as their intricate and often fraught
connections to the wider community and the places we call home.

DAN “SULLY” SULLIVAN holds an MFA and MA from Indiana University. He is

coeditor of the anthology Respect the Mic: Celebrating 20 Years of Poetry from a
Chicagoland High School (Penguin Workshop, 2022.) His first full-length book of
poems, The Blue Line Home, is available from EM-Press.

An Enemy Such as This

Larry Casuse and the Fight for Native
Liberation in One Family on Two
Continents over Three Centuries

 Reform, Revolution, and Opportunism
Debates in the Second International, 1900–1910
Edited by Mike Taber

An essential record capturing the vibrancy, strengths,

and contradictions of the Second (Socialist) Interna-
tional, a mass, working-class movement formed with
the goal of the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism.
Its major accomplishments—such as the eight-hour
day and International Women’s Day—remain testi-
ments to its worldwide influence. This book excerpts
debates on topics that remain deeply contested today:
war, immigration, imperialism, women’s rights, and socialist participation in
government. These exchanges reveal divergent perspectives on reform and revo-
lution that offer valuable insights for activists today.

MIKE TABER is editor of Under the Socialist Banner and The Communist Wom-
en’s Movement, 1920–1922 and coeditor of Fighting Fascism by Clara Zetkin.

Rosa Luxemburg:
The Incendiary Spark
Essays
Michael Löwy, edited by Paul Le Blanc

Vibrant, insightful, and wide-ranging, Michael Löwy’s

essays illuminate the heroic, tough-minded idealist
and martyr Rosa Luxemburg. Active in the labor and
socialist movements of Germany, Poland, and Russia,
Luxemburg remains one of the most admired and
studied revolutionaries in the Marxist tradition. Löwy
follows Luxemburg in blending diverse intellectual
disciplines—philosophy, history, political science, sociology, anthropology, and
economics—to make sense of global realities in her time and our own. Löwy’s
expansive engagement with Luxemburg’s political trajectory and influence con-
vey how she wrestled with political problems of enduring relevance.

MICHAEL LÖWY is emeritus research director at CNRS (National Center for Sci-
entific Research) in Paris.

Translated by Pamela Cappas-Toro and Mariana
Peñaloza Morales, foreword by Naomi Murakawa

mation and liberation aren’t about waiting for someone

La comunidad como rebelión

Curso para sobrevivir en la academia
siendo una mujer de color
Lorgia García Peña, translated by Kianny N. Antigua

Weaving personal narrative with political analysis,

Community as Rebellion offers a meditation on creat-
ing liberatory spaces for students and faculty of color
within academia. Lorgia García Peña argues that the
classroom is key to freedom-making in the university,
urging teachers to center activism and social justice.
By teaching in freedom and for freedom, we not only
acknowledge the harm that the university, since its inception, has inflicted on
our persons and our ways of knowing but also create alternative ways to be,
create, live, and succeed.

LORGIA GARCIA PEÑA is a first-generation Latinx studies scholar, the Mellon

Associate Professor of Race, Colonialism and Diaspora Studies at Tufts University,
and a Casey Foundation 2021 Freedom Scholar.

 Historical Materialism Book Series
Editorial Board / Council Members: Loren Balhorn, David Broder, Sebastian Budgen, Steve
Edwards, Juan Grigera, Marcel M. van der Linden, Peter Thomas, and Gavin Walker
The capitalist crisis of the twenty-first century has been met by a resurgence of interest
in critical Marxist theory. Yet the publishing institutions committed to Marxism have
contracted markedly since the high point of the 1970s. The Historical Materialism Book
Series is dedicated to addressing this situation by making available important works of
Marxist theory. The aim of the series is to publish important theoretical contributions—
in the form of original monographs, translated texts, and reprints of classics—as the basis
for vigorous intellectual debate and exchange on the left.

Lenin, Hegel, and Western Marxism
A Critical Study
Kevin B. Anderson
‘With impressive argumentation and
wide-ranging scholarship, Anderson pres-
ents us with a Lenin that no one seriously
interested in current debates over the rele-
vance of Marxist theory to socialist practice
can afford to miss.’ —Bertell Ollman
In a full critical account, Lenin, Hegel, and
Western Marxism connects Lenin’s ‘dialec-
tics’ to his renowned writings on imperial-
ism, anticolonial movements, and the state.
From there Kevin Anderson takes up the
extensive debates over Lenin’s engagement
with Hegel among Marxists as wide ranging
as Georg Lukacs, Henri Lefebvre, C. L. R.
James, and Louis Althusser. A comprehen-
sive new introduction assesses Lenin’s rele-
vance for today’s world.

Gramsci Contested
Interpretations, Debates, and
Polemics, 1922–2012
Guido Liguori
Antonio Gramsci’s work has been considered
of paramount importance across the globe,
but what of his influence in his native Italy?
In this foundational overview of Gramsci’s
reception in Italy and his contested legacy
within a range of Italian traditions Gui-
do Liguori provides a balanced view of the
many uses to which Gramsci’s thought has
been put, with a particular focus on the im-
portant relationship with the Italian Com-
munist Party leader Palmiro Togliatti.

and anti-socialist dimensions. In a clear and

Charters Wynn’s compelling account illu-
minates how the charismatic Tomsky rose
from an impoverished working-class back-
ground and years of tsarist prison and Sibe-

ber and the head of the trade unions. His
failed attempt to block Stalin’s catastrophic
adoption of forced collectivization would
tragically make Tomsky a prime target in
the Great Purges.

The Production of Subjectivity
Marx and Philosophy
Jason Read
Louis Althusser argued that Marx initiated
a transformation of philosophy, a new way
of doing philosophy. At the centre of this
transformation is the production of subjec-
tivity, the manner in which relations of pro-
duction produce ways of thinking and liv-
ing. This book follows that provocation to
examine the way central Marxist concepts
and problems, from primitive accumulation
to real abstraction, animate and inform the
work of philosophers from Theodor Ador-
no to Paolo Virno. Read then goes on to
examine the way that reading Marx casts
new light on such philosophers as Spinoza.

Karel Kosík and the Dialectics
of the Concrete
Joseph Grim Feinberg
Karel Kosík’s (1926–2003) reputation as a
creative thinker is owed largely to his phil-
osophical ‘blockbuster’, Dialectics of the Con-
crete, first published in Czechoslovakia in
1963. In reintroducing Kosík’s philosophy
to English-speaking readers, Kosík’s work is
shown to be important not only as a leading
intellectual document of the Prague Spring
but also as an original theoretical contri-
bution with international impact that sheds
light on the meaning of labour and praxis,
cognition and economic structure, and revo-
lution and the crises of modernity.

Bodies and Artefacts, Volume 1
Historical Materialism as Corporeal Semiotics
Joseph Fracchia
In a seemingly off-hand, often overlooked
comment, Karl Marx deemed ‘human cor-
poreal organisation’ the ‘first fact of human
history’. Following Marx’s corporeal turn
and pursuing the radical implications of his
corporeal insight, Bodies and Artefacts un-
dertakes a reconstruction of the corporeal
foundations of historical materialism.
Part I exposes the corporeal roots of Marx’s
materialist conception of history and his-
torical-materialist Wissenschaft. Part II at-
tempts a historical-materialist mapping of
human corporeal organisation, suggesting
how to approach human histories up from
their corporeal foundations. Part III elabo-
rates historical materialism as ‘corporeal se-
miotics’. And Part IV, a case study of Marx’s
critique of capitalist socioeconomic and cul-
tural forms, reveals the corporeal founda-
tions of that critique and the corporeal depth
of his vision of human freedom and dignity.

Studies in Critical Social Sciences

Editor: David Fasenfest
The peer-reviewed Studies in Critical Social Sciences Book Series and the subseries Studies
in Critical Research on Religion and Critical Global Studies explore the content and conse-
quences of power relationships under capitalism by considering the spaces of opposition and
resistance to these changes and by articulating capitalism with other systems of power and
domination—for example, race, gender, culture—that define our new age.

Marx Matters Law of Value and Theories of Value

Edited by David Fasenfest
Despite being repeatedly declared out of
touch and outdated, Karl Marx’s ideas have
never mattered more.
Marx Matters is an examination of how
Marx remains more relevant than ever in
dealing with contemporary crises. This vol-
ume explores how technical dimensions of
a Marxian analysis remain relevant to our
understanding of inequality, of exploitation
and oppression, and of financialization in
the age of global capitalism. Contributors
to this important volume track Marx in
promoting emancipatory practices in Latin
America, tackle how Marx informs issues of
race and gender, and demonstrate how Marx
can guide strategies to deal with the existen-
tial environmental crises of the day.

Symmetrical Critique of Classical
and Neoclassical Political Economy
Tiago Camarinha Lopes
Law of Value and Theories of Value presents
the genesis of Karl Marx’s understanding of
the law of value by showing that the labor
theory of value of utopian socialists and the
utility theory of value of the Marginalist
Revolution are subject to equal criticism in
Marx’s critique of political economy. Com-
monly portrayed as a dated work targeting
the general framework of economic thought
of the nineteenth century, Das Kapital, in
Tiago Camarinha Lopes’s account, appears
as the blueprint for the ongoing construc-
tion of economic science of the working
class in any period of history.

 Introducing: Sojourners for Justice
Madame St. Clair
LaShawn Harris
In the 1920s and ’30s, Stephanie St. Clair, a self-made Black
woman, ran one of New York City’s many illegal gambling rings,
known colloquially as “the numbers.” She was successful, rich,
beautiful, and tough as nails. She was targeted by police, harassed,
and incarcerated. This zine by LaShawn Harris offers a glimpse
into the woman who was known in Harlem as Madame Queenie.
