HAYMARKET
BOOKS
“Intelligent, provocative, and indispensable, Haymarket
continues to lead the way for radical voices today.”
—Angela Y. Davis
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 jus-
tice and to 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, Naomi Klein, Michael Bennett, Mike Davis, Winona LaDuke,
Dave Zirin, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor.
“With speed, panache, élan, and rigor, Haymarket Books has made itself an indispensable
resource to the thinking radical.” —CHINA MIÉVILLE
“Haymarket Books is my favorite publisher. I try to read as many of their books as I can.
If I had the time, I’d read every single one. They are real mavericks in the book world,
publishing in the tradition of the late Howard Zinn.” —EDDIE VEDDER
“At any given time, I have two or three Haymarket books in my ‘to read’ stack. As a labor jour-
nalist, Haymarket’s deep catalog of labor books—from brand-new analysis to necessary clas-
sics kept alive—is indispensable for my work, and as new social movements break out across
the country and the world, I can always count on Haymarket to have relevant material. An
invaluable resource for troublemakers everywhere!” —SARAH JAFFE
“For the last seventeen years, Haymarket Books has exemplified a deep commitment both
to critical scholarship and the promise of a radical democracy, and in doing so, speaks to
the best of what publishing is about. A courageous voice for justice, Haymarket Books has
blazed a distinct and much-needed path in producing scholarship that is both rigorous and
accessible. It is hard to imagine a world without Haymarket; it is hard to imagine what the
struggle against injustice would be like without Haymarket Books.” —HENRY GIROUX

Called “the voice of the resistance” by the New York Times, Rebecca Solnit has emerged as
an essential guide to our times, through incisive commentary on feminism, violence, ecolo-
gy, hope, and everything in between.
In this powerful and wide-ranging collection of essays, Solnit turns her attention to the war
at home. This is a war, she says, “with so many casualties that we should call it by its true
name, this war with so many dead by police, by violent ex-husbands and partners and lov-
ers, by people pursuing power and profit at the point of a gun or just shooting first and
figuring out who they hit later.” To get to the root of these American crises, she contends that
“to acknowledge this state of war is to admit the need for peace.”
Writer, historian, and activist REBECCA SOLNIT is the author of more than twen-
ty books on feminism, Western and indigenous history, popular power, social
change and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope, and disaster. Her books
include Men Explain Things to Me, Hope in the Dark, and The Mother of All Ques-
tions with Haymarket Books; a trilogy of atlases of American cities; and River
of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West (for which she
received a Guggenheim, the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism,
and the Lannan Literary Award). She is a columnist at Harper’s and a regular
contributor to the Guardian.
In the rubble of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Ricans and ultrarich “Puertopians” are locked in a
pitched struggle over how to remake the island. In this vital and startling investigation, best-
selling author and activist Naomi Klein uncovers how the forces of shock politics and disaster
capitalism seek to undermine the nation’s radical, resilient vision for a “just recovery.”
All royalties from the sale of this book in English and Spanish go directly to JunteGente, a
collective of Puerto Rican organizations resisting disaster capitalism and advancing a fair
and healthy recovery for their island. For more information, visit juntegente.org.

Black Queer Hoe
Britteney Black Rose Kapri
Foreword by Danez Smith
“Britteney Black Rose Kapri is a stunningly talented writer whose words reach
out from the page and grab you around the throat one minute while pulling you
into a hug in the next. This book is incredible.”
—Samantha Irby, author of Meaty
Women’s sexuality is often used as a weapon against them. In this powerful debut, Britteney
Black Rose Kapri lends her unmistakable voice to fraught questions of identity, sexuality,
reclamation, and power in a world that refuses Black queer women permission to define
their own lives and boundaries.
BRITTENEY BLACK ROSE KAPRI is a Chicago performance poet and playwright. Cur-
rently she is an alumna turned teaching artist fellow at Young Chicago Authors.
Her work has been featured in Poetry magazine, Button Poetry, Seven Scribes, and

Poets Vol. 2: Black Girl Magic. She is a contributor to Black Nerd Problems, a Pink
Door Retreat Fellow, and a 2015 Rona Jaffe Writers Award Recipient.

sota. Danez is the author of Don’t Call Us Dead, a finalist for the National Book

Citizen Illegal
José Olivarez
In this stunning debut, poet José Olivarez explores the stories, contradictions, joys, and sor-
rows that embody life in the spaces between Mexico and America. He paints vivid portraits
of good kids, bad kids, families clinging to hope, life after the steel mills, gentrifying barrios,
and much more. Drawing on the rich traditions of Latinx and Chicago writers like Sandra
Cisneros and Gwendolyn Brooks, Olivarez creates a home out of life in the in-between.
Combining wry humor with potent emotional force, Olivarez takes on complex issues of
race, ethnicity, gender, class, and immigration using accessible language that invites the
reader in. Olivarez has a unique voice that makes him a poet to watch.

Frostlands
John Feffer
Arcadia’s defense corps is mobilized to defend against what first appears to be a routine
assault, one of the many that the community must repel from paramilitary forces every year.
But as sensors report a breach in the perimeter wall, even eighty-year-old Rachel Leopold
shoulders a weapon and reports for duty. The attack, it turns out, has been orchestrated by
one of the world’s largest corporations, CRISPR International, and it is interested primari-
ly in stopping Rachel’s research into global warming. As Arcadia prepares to defend itself
against the next CRISPR attack, Rachel contacts Emmanuel Puig, the foremost scholar of her
ex-husband’s work, to get information that she can use to stop CRISPR.
Frostlands intersperses the action with short reports from Emmanuel Puig on his interac-
tions with Rachel as they meet in different parts of the world—Brussels, Ningxia, and finally
Darwin. The novel concludes with an explosive, unexpected twist that forces a reevaluation
of all that has come before.
JOHN FEFFER is a playwright and the author of several books including After-
shock: A Journey into Eastern Europe’s Broken Dreams and the novel Splinterlands.

The Long
Honduran Night
Resistance, Terror, and the United
States in the Aftermath of the Coup
Dana Frank
Although it is full of terrible things, this is not a horror story; this narrative directly counters
mainstream media coverage that portrays Honduras as a country of victimized people, in
which powerless mothers cry over bodies in the morgue. Rather, it’s about sobering chal-
lenges and the inspiring collective strength with which people face them.

Six by Ten
Stories from Solitary
Edited by Mateo Hoke
and Taylor Pendergrass
This compelling collection of stories told by people directly impacted by solitary confine-
ment is the first book in a new partnership between Voice of Witness and Haymarket Books.
An estimated 80,000 Americans are held in solitary confinement in prisons across the coun-
try. Solitary confinement, often in cells no bigger than six feet by ten feet, means twen-
ty-three hours per day with little or no meaningful human contact.
Six by Ten explores the mental, physical, and spiritual impacts of America’s widespread
embrace of solitary confinement, as told through the first-person narratives of individuals
subjected to solitary confinement, family members on the outside, and corrections officers.
Each chapter presents an individual’s story and shows how Americans across the country
and from all walks of life find themselves held in solitary for years or even decades. In addi-
tion to fourteen evocative firsthand accounts, the book also includes essays and analysis on
how solitary became such a prominent feature of the US prison system today.

Say It Forward
A Guide to Social Justice Storytelling
Edited by Cliff Mayotte and Claire Kiefer
An essential resource for empathetic oral historians, this guide addresses questions that
many people aren’t sure how to talk about, such as: How do I interview people who belong
to a very different community than the one I’m from? How can power dynamics impact a
narrator’s comfort? How do I deal with secondary trauma when listening to difficult stories?
Say It Forward will support readers with everything from the initial planning phases to the
deeper, more essential questions that examine the ethics of the practice.
CLIFF MAYOTTE is the education program director with Voice of Witness. He pre-
viously edited The Power of the Story: The Voice of Witness Teacher’s Guide to Oral
History, published in 2013 by Voice of Witness and McSweeney’s.

in Fall 2018. She is a Voice of Witness curriculum specialist.

grad socialist movement in 1917 provides contemporary readers with
a firsthand glimpse into the revolutionary ferment as it unfolded.
In Leaflets of the Russian Revolution, Barbara Allen selects and introduces the pamphlets and other

masses during the revolution.

For as long as there have been rich nations and poor nations, debt
has been a powerful force for maintaining the unequal relations be-
tween them. Treated as sacrosanct, immutable, and eternally binding,
it has become the yoke of choice for imperial powers in the postcolo-
nial world to enforce their subservience over the Global South. In this
groundbreaking history, renowned economist Éric Toussaint argues
for a radical reversal of this balance of accounts through the repudiation of sovereign debt.
ÉRIC TOUSSAINT, senior lecturer at the University of Liège, is president of the Committee for the
Abolition of Third-World Debt, Belgium. He is the coauthor of Debt, the IMF, and the World Bank: Sixty
Questions, Sixty Answers.

Historical Materialism Book Series
Editorial Board: Sebastian Budgen (Paris), Steve Edwards (London), Marcel van der Linden
(Amsterdam), Peter Thomas (London)
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 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 domination—for exam-
ple 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.
