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

Whose Story Is This?
Old Conflicts, New Chapters
Rebecca Solnit

New essays for the #MeToo era from the international


bestselling author of Men Explain Things to Me.

Who gets to shape the narrative of our times? The


current moment is a battle royale over that founda-
tional power, one in which women, people of color,
non-straight people are telling other versions, and
white people and men and particularly white men
are trying to hang onto the old versions and their
own centrality. In Whose Story Is This? Rebecca Solnit appraises what’s emerging, why it
matters, and what the obstacles are.

Writer, historian, and activist REBECCA SOLNIT is the author of more than twenty
books on feminism, Western and Indigenous history, popular power, social change
and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope and disaster, including Call Them by
Their True Names (Winner of the 2018 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction), Men Explain
Things to Me, The Mother of All Questions, Hope in the Dark, and Cinderella Liberator
(all from Haymarket Books). A product of the California public education system
from kindergarten to graduate school, she is a columnist at the Guardian.

“Rebecca Solnit is a treasure.”


—Marketplace
“Solnit’s exquisite essays move between the political and the personal, the intel-
lectual and the earthy.”
—ELLE
“Rebecca Solnit is the voice of the resistance.”
—New York Times Magazine
“No writer has better understood the mix of fear and possibility, peril and exu-
berance that’s marked this new millennium.”
—Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org

Things That Make White
People Uncomfortable
Adapted for Young Adults
Michael Bennett and Dave Zirin

Michael Bennett is a Super Bowl Champion, a three-


time Pro Bowl defensive end, a fearless activist, a
feminist, an organizer, and a changemaker. He’s also
one of the most humorous athletes on the planet,
and he wants to make you uncomfortable. Bennett
adds his voice to discussions of racism and police
violence, Black athletes and their relationship to powerful institutions like the NCAA and
the NFL, the role of protest in history, and the responsibilities of athletes as role models to
speak out against injustice. Following in the footsteps of activist-athletes from Muhammad
Ali to Colin Kaepernick, Bennett demonstrates his outspoken leadership both on and off the
field. Written with award-winning sportswriter and author Dave Zirin, Things That Make White
People Uncomfortable is a sports book for young people who want to make a difference, a
memoir, and a book as hilarious and engaging as it is illuminating.

MICHAEL BENNETT is a three-time Pro Bowler, Pro Bowl MVP, Super Bowl
Champion, and two-time NFC Champion. He has gained international rec-
ognition for his public support for the Black Lives Matter movement, wom-
en’s rights, and other social justice causes. In 2017, he was named one of the
100 Most Influential African Americans by The Root, was the Seattle Seahawks
nominee for the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award, and was honored
along with his brother Martellus with a BET Shine a Light award for excep-
tional service. He is the cofounder with Pele Bennett of the Bennett Foun-
dation, which educates underserved children and communities through free,
accessible programming. He has held free camps and health clinics in Seattle,
in his hometown of Houston, in his current offseason home, Honolulu, and in
South Dakota with the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

DAVE ZIRIN is the sports editor for the Nation and the author of several books,
most recently Jim Brown: Last Man Standing.

Things That Make White
People Uncomfortable
Michael Bennett and Dave Zirin

“Michael Bennett is an agent of change.”


—New York Times
“A shockingly honest take on sports and politics.”
—The Stranger
“This book is a courageous and compassionate
story of a great athlete and grand human being
full of deep care for his fellow citizens! Don’t
miss it!” —Cornel West

“It would be easy for Michael Bennett to remain silent, to play in the NFL
and make his mark through accomplishments on the field. Instead Michael has
chosen to use his voice and his platform to fight injustice.”
—Senator Bernie Sanders
“There is a tradition of athletes who understand that sports is a way to reach peo-
ple and change the world. I am proud and humbled to be recognized as part of that
tradition. I believe that Michael Bennett’s name deserves mention alongside the
best of us. This book doesn’t only explain the roots of Michael Bennett’s courage. It
will inspire the people who read it to conquer their fears and fight for what’s right.”
—Dr. John Carlos, 1968 Olympic medalist
“I was going to say this is the most courageous book on race written by an ath-
lete in my lifetime, but I actually think this is one of the most courageous books
on race and racism in America that has ever been written by anyone. It’s that
good and that important.”
—Shaun King, columnist for the Intercept and writer-in-residence
for Harvard Law School’s Fair Punishment Project
“There is a revolution underway inside professional sports and Michael Bennett
is at ground zero. In this revelatory book, he puts everything on the line to share
the reasons, strategy, pain, and deep thought behind this historic uprising. And he
invites us into a vision of justice and liberation that is simply irresistible. This book
is pure fire.”
—Naomi Klein, author of No Is Not Enough

Yellow Earth
A Novel
John Sayles

Rich layers of shale oil are discovered under Yellow


Earth, North Dakota and the neighboring Three Na-
tions Indian reservation. All hell breaks loose.

In Yellow Earth, the site of the Three Nations reser-


vation on the banks of the Missouri River in North
Dakota, Sayles introduces us to Harleigh Killdeer,
chairman of the Tribal Business Council. An activist
in his way, a product of the Casino Era, Kildeer, who is
contracted by oil firm Case and Crosby, spearheads the new Three Nations Petroleum Com-
pany. What follows, with characteristic lyrical dexterity, insight, and wit, introduces us to a
memorable cast of characters, weaving together narratives of competing worlds through
masterful storytelling. Set shortly before Standing Rock would become a symbol of historic
proportions of the brutal confrontation between Native resistance and the forces of big busi-
ness and law enforcement, the fate of Yellow Earth serves as a parable for our times.

We meet landmen and roustabouts and public officials and drug dealers, we drill and frack
and go hunting for elk and slaughter rodents and spend a night dealing blackjack. People
with various outlooks and agendas are drawn into the economic feeding frenzy, hoping for
big profit and minimal collateral damage. The novel posits that the Wild West is not trapped
in a bygone era, but is resurrected any time there is crazy money to be made, the law over-
whelmed, and way too many men living in one place.

JOHN SAYLES works as a fiction writer, screenwriter, actor, and feature film di-
rector. His novel Union Dues (1978) was nominated for the National Book
Award and the National Critics’ Circle Award. He has written over a hundred
screenplays and was twice nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original
Screenplay. He has directed eighteen feature films, with another, I Passed This
Way, currently in progress. His films Matewan and Lone Star, as well as his pre-
vious novel A Moment in the Sun, are often used for instruction in history and
American studies courses. Yellow Earth is his fifth novel.

Missing Daddy
Mariame Kaba
Illustrated by bria royal

“This book is a crucial tool for par-


ents, educators, and anyone who cares
about the well-being of children who,
through no fault of their own, are
forced to bear the consequences of
our country’s obsession with incarcer-
ation. For children who desperately
miss their parents, feel confused, or
are teased at school, this book can go a
long way in letting them know that they are not alone and in normalizing their
experiences.”
—Eve L. Ewing

A father and daughter’s love cannot be broken even when prison bars separate them. A
little girl who misses her father because he’s away in prison shares how her absence affects
different parts of her life. Her greatest excitement is the days when she gets to visit her be-
loved father. With gorgeous illustrations throughout, this book illuminates the heartaches
of dealing with missing a parent and shows that a little girl’s love can overcome her father’s
incarceration.

MARIAME KABA is an educator and organizer based in New York City. She has
been active in anti-criminalization and anti-violence movements for the past
thirty years. Mariame is the founder and director of Project NIA, a grassroots
organization with a long-term vision to end youth incarceration.

tion, comics, paintings, and zines to be the result of a radical healing process
that she hopes others will benefit from seeing unfold. Much of her work cen-
ters on Black and Brown imaginations and womxnhood, femininity and gen-
der fluidity through a lens of ecofeminism, afrofuturism, and contemporary
mythology.

The Long Deep Grudge
A Story of Big Capital,
Radical Labor, and Class War
in the American Heartland
Toni Gilpin

This rich history details the bitter, deep-rooted con-


flict between industrial behemoth International
Harvester and the uniquely radical Farm Equipment
Workers’ union. The Long Deep Grudge makes clear
that class warfare has been, and remains, integral to
the American experience, providing up-close-and-
personal and long-view perspectives from both sides of the battle lines.

International Harvester—and the McCormick family that largely controlled it—garnered a


reputation for bare-knuckled union-busting in the 1880s, but in the twentieth century also
pioneered sophisticated union-avoidance techniques that have since become standard cor-
porate practice. On the other side, the militant Farm Equipment Workers (FE), whose leaders
were connected to the Communist Party, mounted a vociferous challenge to the cooperative
ethos that came to define the American labor movement after World War II.

This evocative account, stretching back to the nineteenth century and carried through to the
present, reads like a novel. Biographical sketches of McCormick family members, union offi-
cials, and rank-and-filers are woven into the narrative, along with anarchists, jazz musicians,
Wall Street financiers, civil rights crusaders, and mob lawyers. It touches on pivotal mo-
ments and movements as wide-ranging as the Haymarket “riot,” the Flint sit-down strikes,
the Memorial Day Massacre, the McCarthy-era anti-communist purges, and America’s late
twentieth-century industrial decline.

Both Harvester and the FE are now gone, but this largely forgotten clash helps explain the
crisis of yawning inequality facing the US today, and provides alternative models from the
past that can instruct and inspire those engaged in working-class and radical struggles today.

TONI GILPIN is a labor historian, activist, and writer. She is a coauthor of On


Strike for Respect: The Clerical and Technical Workers’ Strike at Yale University, and
is the recipient of the 2018 Debra Bernhardt Award for Labor Journalism.

Bit Tyrants
The Political Economy of Silicon Valley
Rob Larson

For all their famed “disruption” of the economy, Big Tech CEOs re-
semble the robber barons of the past. An ocean of liberal ass-kissery
dominates analysis of these giants, along with some right-wing
scorn for their less-than-arch-conservative vetting of news feed
sources and Google search algorithms. Every day we grow more
dependent on our phones and apps to do our chores, our jobs, and
our socializing. And every quarter the enormous corporate giants
of Big Tech take over more sectors of the economy. It’s time to crack the code on these near-monopolies.

ROB LARSON is professor of economics at Tacoma Community College and author of


Bleakonomics and Capitalism vs. Freedom from Zero Books. He writes for a variety of
publications including Jacobin, In These Times, Current Affairs and Dollars & Sense.

Aftershocks of Disaster
Puerto Rico Before and After the Storm
Edited by Yarimar Bonilla and Marisol LeBrón

An in-depth look at Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria and


the island’s preexisting crisis. The concept of “aftershocks” is used in the
context of earthquakes to describe the jolts felt after the initial quake,
but no disaster is a singular event. Aftershocks of Disaster examines the
lasting effects of Hurricane Maria, not just the effects of the wind or the
rain, but delving into what followed: state failure, social abandonment,
capitalization on human misery, and the collective trauma produced by the botched response.

YARIMAR BONILLA is a political anthropologist and author of Non-Sovereign Futures:


French Caribbean Politics in the Wake of Disenchantment and American Disaster. MARISOL
LEBRÓN is an assistant professor in the department of Mexican American and Latina/x
Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. She is the author of Policing Life and Death:
Race, Violence, and Resistance in Puerto Rico.

The Game Is Not a Game
The Power, Protest, and Politics of American Sports
Robert "Scoop" Jackson

Part theory, part op-ed, The Game Is Not a Game is an affecting, sobering
and unflinching examination of the good and evil of the sports industry.
Jackson explores the liberating and provocative role sports play in Amer-
ican society and also the hypocritical standards by which the athletes
that play them are often judged. Chapters explore “America’s Miseduca-
tion of LeBron James,” “The Disrespect of Serena Williams,” the cultural bias of analytics, and the power of
social activism versus the power and politics of professional sports ownership, from the perspective of a
writer considered one of the leading voices of social, political, and racial activism in sports media.

SCOOP JACKSON is a national senior writer for ESPN. He has covered issues of race,
culture, politics, and sports for various publications for over twenty-five years. He is the
former executive editor of XXL and Slam and former publisher of The Agenda.

The Selected Works
of Eugene V. Debs Vol. III
The Path to a Socialist Party, 1897–1904
Edited by Tim Davenport and David Walters

Eugene V. Debs exploded upon the national scene in 1894 as the lead-
er of a sensational strike by his American Railway Union (ARU) against
the Pullman Parlor Car Company—a job stoppage which paralyzed the
country’s transportation network for nearly two weeks. On January 1,
1897, the polarizing public figure Debs declared his allegiance to international socialism, emerging
as the most widely recognized socialist in America. He would thereafter tour the country relentlessly,
speaking to large audiences and writing hundreds of articles on political and economic themes over the
ensuing three decades. Tim Davenport and David Walters have extracted the essential core of Debs’s
life work, illustrating his intellectual journey from conservative editor of the magazine of a racially seg-
regated railway brotherhood to his role as the public face and outstanding voice of social revolution
in early twentieth-century America.

The Ballot, the Streets—or Both?

of bourgeois democracy. Drawing on Bolshevik debates and Marx

of revolutionary strategy.

The Adventures of
The Communist Manifesto
Hal Draper

The definitive translation of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels’s Communist


Manifesto by American socialist luminary, Hal Draper.

Few documents have had more of an impact on the course of history as


has the Communist Manifesto. From its famous opening lines—“A specter
is haunting Europe: the specter of Communism”—to its final cry—”Workers
of the world unite!”—the words of Marx and Engels have moved millions
to join in the struggle against capitalism. But they have also inspired a legion of critics, detractors, and
even a few despots to intentionally distort their meanings so as to sow confusion and justify untold horrors.

HAL DRAPER (1914-1990) was the author of the five-volume study Karl Marx’s Theory of
Revolution as well as War and Revolution: Lenin and the Myth of Revolutionary Defeatism
and Berkeley: The New Student Revolt. He was also a prominent socialist journalist and
editor of the journal Labor Action from 1948–1958.

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.
