“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
publisher 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 chal-
lenges 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

The Chicago Race Riot of 1919, the most intense of the riots that comprised the “Red Sum-
mer” of violence across the nation’s cities, has shaped the last century but is widely un-
known. In 1919, award-winning poet Eve L. Ewing explores the story of this event—which
lasted eight days and resulted in thirty-eight deaths and almost five hundred injuries—
through poems recounting the stories of everyday people trying to survive and thrive in the
city. Ewing uses speculative and Afrofuturist lenses to recast history, illuminating the thin
line between the past and the present.

They are a mass migration of thousands, yet each one travels alone. Solito, Solita (“Alone,
alone”) is a Voice of Witness collection of oral histories that tell the stories of youth refugees
fleeing their home countries and traveling for hundreds of miles seeking safety and protec-
tion in the United States.
These powerful narrators describe why they fled their homes, what happened on their dan-
gerous journeys through Mexico, how they crossed the border, and their ongoing struggles
to survive in the United States. In an era of fear, xenophobia, and outright lies, these stories
amplify the compelling voices of immigrant youth. What can they teach us about abuse and
abandonment, bravery and resilience, hypocrisy and hope? They bring us into their hearts
and onto streets filled with the lure of freedom and fraught with violence. From fending
off kidnappers with knives and being locked in freezing holding cells to tearful reunions
with parents, Solito, Solita’s evocative stories bring to light the experiences of young people
struggling for a better life across the border.
STEVEN MAYERS is a writer, oral historian, and professor of English at the City

VOICE OF WITNESS, founded by Dave Eggers, Mimi Lok, and Lola Vollen, is a

White Bred begins with the colonization of America and the use of white bondspeople from
England, Ireland, Scotland, and Germany. Not only did the Civil War and Reconstruction
periods radically highlight the crimes of Black slavery; they also exposed the chasms of
inequality, resentment, and bitter violence that existed within the white population—partic-
ularly in the South.
Kerl goes on to examine the dispossession, subjugation, racialization, and resistance move-
ments of Appalachian people, from the role of country music in poor white and working-class
life to the multiracial movements standing up to resist white supremacy and racism.

Bookended by her two award-winning novels, The God of Small Things (1997) and The
Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017), My Seditious Heart collects the work of a two-decade
period when Arundhati Roy devoted herself to the political essay as a way of opening up
space for justice, rights, and freedoms in an increasingly hostile world. Taken together, the
essays speak in a voice of unique spirit, marked by compassion, clarity, and courage. Radical
and superbly readable, they speak always in defense of the collective, of the individual and
of the land, in the face of the destructive logic of financial, social, religious, military, and
governmental elites.
ARUNDHATI ROY studied architecture in New Delhi, where she now lives. She is
the author of the novels The God of Small Things, for which she received the 1997
Booker Prize, and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. She has written several
nonfiction books, including Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers,
Capitalism: A Ghost Story, Walking with the Comrades, Things That Can and Can-
not Be Said (with John Cusack), and The End of Imagination. She is the recipient
of the 2002 Lannan Cultural Freedom Prize.

Socialism plus computer technology, citizen resistance plus a global agenda of concerns,
revolutionary commitment to practices that are socially experimental and inclusive of differ-
ence—these are new forces being mobilized to make another future possible.
Revolution Today celebrates the new political subjects that are organizing thousands of
grassroots movements to fight racial and gender violence, state-led terrorism, and capital-
ist exploitation of people and the planet worldwide. The twenty-first century has already
witnessed unprecedented popular mobilizations. Unencumbered by old dogmas, mobili-
zations of opposition are not only happening; they are gaining support and developing
a global consciousness in the process. They are themselves a chain of signifiers, creating
solidarity across language, religion, ethnicity, gender, and every other difference. Trans-local
solidarities exist. They came first. The right-wing authoritarianism and anti-immigrant up-
surge that has followed is a reaction against the amazing visual power of millions of citizens
occupying public space in defiance of state power.
We cannot know how to act politically without seeing others act. This book provides photo-
graphic evidence of that fact, while making us aware of how much of the new revolutionary
vernacular we already share.

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.
Modern capitalism began the twenty-first century seemingly victorious as the dominant
social and economic organizing principle in the world. Rampant deregulation accompanied
a wholesale attack on the social, economic, and political gains of the prior century under the
guise of increasing competitiveness and the need to respond to the forces of globalization.
The peer-reviewed Studies in Critical Social Sciences book series offers insights into
the current reality by exploring the content and consequences of power relationships un-
der 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 have been defining our new age.
Studies in Critical Social Sciences includes the subseries Studies in Critical Research
on Religion and Critical Global Studies.
