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
Haymarkets books are vital: they provoke the mindset shifts necessary to fuel chal-
lenges to dominant systems. Im so grateful that Haymarket exists, because I think that
without it, a lot of really crucial books just wouldnt be published. In general, publishers
dont 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

nick, Bennett demonstrates his outspoken tenacity both on and off the field.

The Torture Machine takes the reader from the 1969 murders of Black Panther Party chair-
man Fred Hampton and Panther Mark Clarkand the historic, thirteen-year trial that fol-
lowedthrough the dogged pursuit of chief detective Jon Burge, the leader of a torture ring
within the CPD that used barbaric methods, including electric shock, to elicit false confes-
sions from suspects.
Taylor and the PLO gathered evidence from multiple cases to bring suit against the CPD,
breaking the departments code of silence that had enabled decades of cover-up. The legal
precedents they set have since been adopted in human rights legislation around the world.

Long Term Offenders, or LTOs, is the states term for those it condemns to effective death by
imprisonment. Often serving sentences of sixty to eighty years, LTOs bear the brunt of the
bipartisan embrace of mass incarceration heralded by the tough on crime agenda of the
1990s and 2000s. Like the rest of the United States prison populationthe worlds highest
per capitathey are disproportionately poor and non-white.
The Long Term brings these often silenced voices to light, offering a powerful indictment
of the prison-industrial complex from activists, scholars, and those directly surviving and
resisting these sentences. In showing the devastation caused by a draconian prison system,
the essays also highlight the humanity and courage of the people most affected.
This striking collection of essays gives voice to people both inside and outside prison strug-
gling for liberation, dismantles claims that the tough on crime agenda and LTO sentenc-
ing keep us safe, and reveals the white supremacism and patriarchy upon which the prison
system rests. In its place, the contributors propose a range of far-reaching reforms and raise
the even more radical demand of abolition, drawing on the experience of campaigns in the
United States and beyond.
Alice Kim, Erica Meiners, Jill Petty, Audrey Petty, Beth Richie, and Sarah

and safer communities without further enhancing policing, prisons, and borders.

ism across national borders. These engaging interviews with sister comrades such as Angela
Davis, Margo Okazawa-Rey, Himani Bannerji, and more will inform, inspire, and activate the

es and forming solidarities across borders to transform unjust structures around the globe.
The book features interviews with activists from movements spanning the last seven de-
cades in the United States, India, Mexico, Palestine, Nigeria, South Africa, and beyond.
As Donald Trumps ascension to the presidency brings with it a legal and political environ-
ment even more viciously hostile to unions, strategic debates about how to rebuild the
power of working people have become more pressing than ever. By honestly confronting
the movements faults and failures and documenting its most inspiring recent struggles,
Rebuilding Workers Power is an essential contribution to these conversations.

Over a quarter of a century after the Soviet Unions collapse, many con-
tinue to associate socialism with Joseph Stalins totalitarian regime.
State Capitalism in Russia, first published in 1955, offers a radically
different interpretation of what happened in the decades after the
Russian Revolution: that Stalins assault on the gains of the 1917 revo-
lution caused the reemergence of class divisions and capitalist modes
of production. This argument about the development of state capital-
ism became a cornerstone of an anti-Stalinist socialist movement that
insisted that socialism must be founded on workers power and mass democracy.
Long out of print, this classic work of rigorous, unflinchingly honest analysis remains essential for
anyone trying to understand the degeneration of a revolution that had once inspired the world.
Tony Cliff was a lifelong organizer within the international socialist movement. His
many works include a three-part biography of Lenin.

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 classicsas 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 consequence 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 dominationfor exam-
ple race, gender, culturethat have been defining our new age.
Studies in Critical Social Sciences includes the subseries Studies in Critical Research
on Religion and Critical Global Studies.
