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
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

Cinderella Liberator
Rebecca Solnit, with illustrations
by Arthur Rackham

A brave, resourceful Cinderella breaks free from


a life of endless chores by following her dreams,
making some new friends along the way.

In this modern twist on the classic story, Cinder-


ella, who would rather just be Ella, meets her fairy
godmother, goes to a ball, and makes friends with
a prince. But that is where the familiar story ends.
Instead of waiting to be rescued, Cinderella learns that she can save herself and those
around her by being true to herself and standing up for what she believes.

In her debut children’s book, Rebecca Solnit updates a classic fairy tale with a fresh, feminist
Cinderella and new plot twists that will inspire young readers to change the world, featuring
gorgeous silhouettes from Arthur Rackham on each page.

Praise for Rebecca Solnit:


“Essential feminist reading.” —New Republic
“The voice of the resistance.” —New York Times Magazine
“Rebecca Solnit is a treasure.” —Marketplace

REBECCA SOLNIT is the author of more than twenty books including Men Explain
Things to Me, Call Them by Their True Names, Hope in the Dark, and The Mother
of All Questions.

ARTHUR RACKHAM (1867–1939) was a prominent British illustrator of many clas-


sic children’s books from The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm to Sleeping Beauty.
His watercolor silhouettes were featured in the original edition of Cinderella.

1919
Eve L. Ewing

A powerful meditation on the


Chicago Race Riot of 1919
through the small moments and
narratives of everyday people
from the award-winning poet.

“The Zora Neale Hurston of


her generation.”
—Studio 360
“A truly rare cultural phenomenon: an artist who not only holds up a mirror to
society, but makes herself a catalyst to change it.” —Chicago Tribune

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.

EVE L. EWING is a writer and an assistant professor at the University of Chicago


School of Social Service Administration. She is the author of Electric Arches and
Ghosts in the Schoolyard: Racism and School Closings on Chicago’s South Side.

Solito, Solita
Crossing Borders with Youth
Refugees from Central America
Edited by Steven Mayers
and Jonathan Freedman
foreword by Javier Zamora

A collection of oral histories told by the thou-


sands of young people fleeing violence and pov-
erty in Central America.

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
College of San Francisco.

JONATHAN FREEDMAN is a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, author, and writing


mentor at the City College of San Francisco.

VOICE OF WITNESS, founded by Dave Eggers, Mimi Lok, and Lola Vollen, is a
nonprofit organization that advances human rights by amplifying unheard voices.

Repair
Redeeming the Promise of Abolition
Katherine Franke

A compelling case for reparations based on


powerful historical accounts, detailing both the
horrors of slavery and past promises made to its
survivors.

Katherine Franke makes a powerful case for repara-


tions for Black Americans by amplifying the stories
of former slaves and calling for repairing the dam-
age caused by America’s legacy of slavery. Building on the case started by Ta-Nehisi Coates,
Repair invites readers to explore the historical context for reparations, offering a detailed
account of the circumstances that surrounded the emancipation of enslaved African Amer-
icans in two unique contexts: the Sea Islands of South Carolina; and Davis Bend, Jefferson
Davis’s former plantation outside Vicksburg, Mississippi. Through these two critical histori-
cal examples, Franke unpacks the systemic racism and white privilege at the heart of Ameri-
can society and argues that reparations for slavery are both urgent and possible.

Praise for Katherine Franke’s Wedlocked: The Perils of Marriage Equality:


“A persuasive and provocative addition to scholarship on the history and the
influence of marriage.” —Women’s Review of Books

“Rigorous, historical.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

KATHERINE FRANKE, professor at Columbia Law School, is one of the nation’s


leading scholars writing on law, racial justice, African American history, and
sexuality. She is a board member of Jewish Voice for Peace and chair of the
Center for Constitutional Rights. Her first book was Wedlocked: The Perils of

White Bred
Hillbillies, White Trash, and Rednecks
against White Supremacy
Eric Kerl

The antidote to Hillbilly Elegy.

J. D. Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy, published just before


the election of Donald Trump, thrust the people
of Appalachia into the spotlight. Perplexed by the
specter of white poverty and apparent backward-
ness, liberals and progressives turned to Vance’s
Elegy to understand Appalachians. Instead, what they found was a blame-the-victim
narrative that wouldn’t pass the smell test of racism in any other case. White Bred is the
antidote to the narrow and myopic characterizations of Appalachians that Vance pushes.
Kerl draws on a rich tradition of Appalachian scholars and left-wing writers to illuminate
questions of poverty, racism, underdevelopment, and social struggle in the region.

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.

ERIC KERL is a Kentuckian living, working, organizing, and writing in Chicago.


His articles have appeared on ReWire.News, International Socialist Review, 100
Days in Appalachia, Socialist Worker, and elsewhere.

My Seditious Heart
Collected Non-fiction, 1998–2018
Arundhati Roy

In constant conversation with the themes and


settings of her novels, these essays form a
near-unbroken memoir of Arundhati Roy’s jour-
ney as a writer and a citizen of both India and
the world.

Praise for Arundhati Roy:


“Arundhati Roy combines her brilliant style
as a novelist with her powerful commitment to social justice in producing these
eloquent, penetrating essays.” —Howard Zinn
“Arundhati Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers of our time.”
—Naomi Klein
“The scale of what Roy surveys is staggering. Her pointed indictment is devastating.”
—New York Times Book Review

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.

Marx at the Arcade
Consoles, Controllers,
and Class Struggle
Jamie Woodcock

More people are playing video games than ever


before, yet the work of their production has re-
mained obscure—until now.

In Marx at the Arcade, acclaimed researcher Jamie


Woodcock delves into the hidden abode of the gam-
ing industry. In an account that will appeal to hard-
core gamers, digital skeptics, and the joystick-curious, Woodcock unravels the vast networks
of artists, software developers, and factory and logistics workers whose seen and unseen
labor flows into the products we consume on a gargantuan scale. Along the way, he analyzes
the increasingly important role the gaming industry plays in contemporary capitalism, and
the broader transformations of work and the economy that it embodies.

Praise for Working the Phones:


“A sharp reminder of the difficulties faced by call-center workers.”
—Financial Times
“Jamie Woodcock shows us what call-centers can tell us about bleakness and
resistance in the modern workplace.” —VICE
“Jamie Woodcock’s brilliant insider account of life in a British call-center reveals
the dirty realities of digital capitalism . . . a book that is sure to become a classic.”
—Peter Fleming, author of The Mythology of Work

“Woodcock knows not only his theory but his subject inside out. There’s casual-
ization, cruelty, and regimentation, but also subversion, and his focus on employee
resistance offers a flicker of hope.” —Times Higher Education

JAMIE WOODCOCK is a sociologist of work, focusing on digital labor, the gig


economy, and resistance. He is currently a fellow at the London School of Eco-
nomics and is the author of the award-winning Working the Phones. He is on the
editorial board of Historical Materialism and is an editor of Notes from Below, an
online journal of workers’ inquiry.

Revolution Today
Susan Buck-Morss

Revolution Today celebrates the new political


subjects that are organizing thousands of grass-
roots movements worldwide to fight the capital-
ist exploitation and oppression of people and
the planet.

Susan Buck-Morss asks: What does revolution look


like today? How will the idea of revolution survive
the inadequacy of the formula, “progress = mod-
ernization through industrialization,” to which it has
owed its political life?

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.

SUSAN BUCK-MORSS is distinguished professor of political philosophy at the City


University of New York Graduate Center. Her work crosses disciplines, includ-
ing art history, architecture, comparative literature, cultural studies, German
studies, philosophy, history, and visual culture.

ing and accessible for the reader. A Reader’s Guide to Marx’s Capital is
an essential tool for students, activists, and others looking to read this
classic text today.

Stalin
Leon Trostky

force.” —Frederick L. Schuman, Atlantic

Drawing on a mass of carefully assembled material from his personal archives and many other sources,
Stalin includes all the available material from the Trotsky archives in English and is supplemented with
additional material translated from the Russian, making it the most complete version of this classic
biography that has ever been published.

The Women’s Revolution


Russia 1905–1917
Judy Cox

A captivating account of the central role women played in the


Russian Revolution.

The 1917 revolution in Russia was sparked by a demonstration of


women workers marking International Women’s Day. Despite this,
many historical accounts of this momentous period relegate women
to the footnotes. The Women’s Revolution tells the inspiring story of how Russian women threw off
centuries of oppression to strike, organize, liberate themselves, and ultimately build a new world
based on equality and freedom for all.

JUDY COX is a long-standing socialist and campaigner. She lives and works in Tower Ham-
lets, East London, where she is a primary school teacher. She is currently researching the
activities of working-class women in nineteenth-century radical movements. She has writ-
ten on Rosa Luxemburg, Robin Hood, William Blake, and Marx’s theory of alienation.

Socialism from Below
Hal Draper

Exploring the question “What do we mean by socialism?,” Hal Draper


argues liberation can be won only through self-emancipation.

As a new generation discovers socialism, this important text by Amer-


ican Marxist Hal Draper makes the case that genuine liberation can
only come from the selfactivity of workers.

Draper outlines the important distinction in the socialist movement between those who looked for
freedom to be handed down from above and those who saw the revolutionary struggle as being led
by ordinary people from below for their own liberation.

HAL DRAPER (1914–1990) was the author of the five-volume study Karl Marx’s Theory
of Revolution.

taking a closer look at the counterrevolutionary processes that have been undermining the uprising
from without and within.

puted masterpiece of political reportage inspired Sergei Eisenstein’s movie October, Warren Beatty’s
Reds, and generations of readers. Our centenary edition includes a new introduction from acclaimed
economist David Laibman, alongside a foreword and preface from Russian revolutionary leaders Vlad-
imir Lenin and Nadezhda Krupskaya.

The New Authoritarians


Convergence on the Right
David Renton

A cogent examination of how an authoritarian, radical right wing


rose to global prominence.

Under the clouds of austerity and post-9/11 Islamophobia, the right


is on the march. Yet this ascendency defies simple and familiar labels.
Instead, Renton argues that we are witnessing a still-evolving convergence involving traditional con-
servatives, far-right authoritarians, and previously marginal fascists.

With particular focus on Trump, Brexit, and France’s National Front (recently rebranded as National Rally),
this account reveals the origins of today’s New Right and suggests how we might still turn the tide.

DAVID RENTON is the author of five books on fascism and anti-fascism. He is a former
leading figure in Unite Against Fascism, and an active socialist and campaigner.

Tramps and Trade Union Travelers
Internal Migration and Organized Labor
in Gilded Age America, 1870–1900
Kim Moody

Why is there no independent labor party in the United States? While


many point to “American exceptionalist” arguments that highlight
lackluster class-consciousness among American workers as the prob-
lem, Moody uses archival research to argue that despite divisions,
workers in the Gilded Age had strong traditions of class consciousness and political radicalism. He
contends that internal migration during the late 1800s created instability in organizations of workers
and that over time, this has undermined their ability to build an independent labor political party.

KIM MOODY was a founder of Labor Notes and is the author of On New Terrain.

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.

Studies in Critical Social Sciences
Editor: David Fasenfest

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.
