This Is Not a TestA New Narrative on Race,

Class, and Education

José Luis Vilson Foreword by Karen Lewis

Afterword by Pedro Noguera

José Luis Vilson writes about race,class, and education through sto-ries from the classroom. His risefrom rookie math teacher toteacher leader takes a twist whenhe takes on education reformthrough his now-blocked fromNew York’s Department of Edu-cation eponymous blog, TheJoseVilson.com. He calls for the reclaim-ing of the education profession while seeking social justice.

—Raquel Cepeda, author, Bird of Paradise: How I Became Latina

“Too many books about teaching read like dull academic treatises, con-descending how-tos, or simplistic Hollywood scripts.

—Gregory Michie, Chicago public school teacher

“José Vilson is a teacher of the highest order. . . .” —Chris Lehmann, founding principal, Science Leadership Academy

Badass TeachersUnite!

Reflections on Education, History,and Youth Activism

Mark NaisonForeword by Brian Jones

In this incisive collection of es-says, educator and activist MarkNaison draws on years of researchon Bronx history and his own ex-perience on the front lines of theeducation wars to unapologeti-cally defend teachers and stu-

dents from education “reform” policies that undermine their powerand creativity.

Naison shows how dominant education policy systematicallyhurts the very children it claims to support and instead forces themto “race to the top.” He exposes the Duncans, Rhees, and Gatesesfor schemes that intensify racial and economic inequality. And herefocuses the conversation on teaching and organizing strategies thatshould be implemented in communities everywhere.



CapitalismA Ghost Story

Arundhati Roy

From the poisoned rivers, barrenwells, and clear-cut forests, to thehundreds of thousands of farm-ers who have committed suicideto escape punishing debt, to thehundreds of millions of peoplewho live on less than two dollarsa day, there are ghosts nearlyeverywhere you look in India.India is a nation of 1.2 billion, but the country’s one hundred rich-est people own assets equivalent to one-fourth of India’s gross do-mestic product.

Capitalism: A Ghost Story examines the dark side of democracyin contemporary India, and shows how the demands of globalizedcapitalism have subjugated billions of people to the highest andmost intense forms of racism and exploitation.

Praise for Field Notes on Democracy“Gorgeously wrought . . . pitch-perfect prose. . . . In language of terriblebeauty, she takes India’s everyday tragedies and reminds us to be out-raged all over again.”

—Time

“In her searing account, Roy asks whether our shriveled forms of democ-racy will be ‘the endgame of the human race’—and shows vividly whythis is a prospect not to be lightly dismissed.”

—Noam Chomsky

“The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves humanity moves myheart.”

—Alice Walker

“Arundhati Roy resists and denounces all tyrannies, pleads for their vic-tims, and unflinchingly questions the tragedy.”

—John Berger

“The scale of what Roy surveys is staggering. Her pointed indictment isdevastating.”

—New York Times

Men ExplainThings to Me

Rebecca Solnit

In her comic, scathing essay “MenExplain Things to Me,” RebeccaSolnit took on what often goeswrong in conversations betweenmen and women. She wroteabout men who wrongly assumethey know things and wrongly as-sume women don’t, about whythis arises, and how this aspect ofthe gender wars works, airingsome of her own hilariously awfulencounters.

She ends on a serious note—because the ultimate problem isthe silencing of women who have something to say, including thosesaying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!”

This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect com-plements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Vir-ginia Woolf ’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt andambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a ter-rifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women.

Praise for The Faraway Nearby“Solnit is a wanderer who collapses distance.”

“Rory Fanning’s odyssey is more than a walk across America. It is a grip-ping story of one young man’s intellectual journey from eager soldierto skeptical radical, a look at not only the physical immenseness of thecountry, its small towns and highways, but into the enormity of its past,the hidden sins and unredeemed failings of the United States. Thereader is there along with Rory, walking every step, as challenging andrewarding experience for us as it was for him.”

Shadow Government

Surveillance, Secret Wars, and aGlobal Security State in a Single

Superpower World

Tom Engelhardt

Foreword by Glenn Greenwald

In 1964, a book entitled The In-visible Government shocked Amer-icans with its revelations of agrowing world of intelligenceagencies playing fast and loosearound the planet, a secret govern-ment lodged inside the one they knew that even the president didn’tfully control. Almost half a century later, everything about that “in-visible government” has grown vastly larger, more disturbing, and farmore visible. In his new book, Tom Engelhardt takes in somethingnew under the sun: what is no longer, as in the 1960s, a national se-curity state, but a global security one, fighting secret wars that haveturned the president into an assassin-in-chief. Shadow Government of-fers a powerful survey of a democracy of the wealthy that your grand-parents wouldn’t have recognized.

The SpeechThe Story Behind Dr. Martin

Luther King Jr.’s Dream (Updated paperback edition)

New introduction by the author

Gary Younge

Gary Younge explains why Mar-tin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have aDream” speech maintains itspowerful social relevance by shar-ing the dramatic story surround-ing it. Fifty years later, “TheSpeech” endures as a defining mo-ment in the civil rights movement

and a guiding light in the ongoing struggle for racial equality. Younge roots his work in new and important interviews with

Clarence Jones, a close friend of Martin Luther King Jr. and hisdraft speechwriter; with Joan Baez, a singer at the march; and withAngela Davis and other leading civil rights leaders. Younge skillfullycaptures the spirit of that historic day in Washington and offers anew generation of readers a critical modern analysis of why “I Havea Dream” remains America’s favorite speech.

Bitter LegacyThe United States in the Middle East

Naseer H. Aruri

The right of the Palestinians toreturn to their land, establishtheir own independent statealongside Israel, receive compen-sation, and gain restitution hasbeen continually preempted byIsraeli and US obstinacy anddiplomatic maneuvering, in partthrough manipulation of the“peace process.”

The marginalization of inter-national law, together with US domination of regional relations, havecombined to create a situation in which blame for the Palestinian ca-tastrophe is placed on the victims of the occupation.

American assistance to the Israelis is not limited to diplomaticsupport in international institutions. The United States has alsopaid for much of the Israeli military. This has left a bitter legacythat Washington can only address by taking seriously its responsi-bilities to all the people of the region through a balanced foreignpolicy that is consistent with contemporary norms of human rights.

Praise for Palestine and the Palestinians: A Social and Political History“A brilliant achievement. By far the most comprehensive analysis of thepolitical economy of Palestine and Palestinians in the twentieth century.”

—The Times Literary Supplement

Praise for The Obstruction of Peace: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians“Aruri’s is a Palestinian perspective on the peace process in his MiddleEastern region which provides a different view for the reasons behindPalestinian-Israeli impasses. From perspectives on US interests tomedia portraits of problems, this packs in many thought-provoking is-sues from a Palestinian’s viewpoint.”

—Midwest Book Review

Naseer H. Aruri is a chancellor professor emeritus of political science at theUniversity of Massachusetts Dartmouth. His many publications includeDishonest Broker, Obstruction of Peace, and Palestinian Refugees: e Right ofReturn. He was a member of the board of directors of Human RightsWatch/Middle East and a three-term member of the board of directors ofAmnesty International USA.

In the 1960s historians onboth sides of the Atlanticbegan to challenge the as-sumptions of their colleaguesand push for an understand-ing of history “from below.”In this collection Staughton

Lynd, himself one of the pioneers of this approach, laments thepassing of fellow luminaries David Montgomery, E. P. omp-son, Alfred Young, and Howard Zinn, and makes the case thatcontemporary academics and activists alike should take moreseriously the stories and perspectives of Native Americans, en-slaved people, rank-and-file workers, and other still-too-fre-quently marginalized people.

In August 1965, he was arrested, togetherwith Bob Moses and David Dellinger, at the Assembly of UnrepresentedPeople in Washington, DC, where demonstrators sought to declare peacewith the people of Vietnam on the steps of the Capitol. In December 1965,Staughton, along with Tom Hayden and Herbert Aptheker, made a contro-versial trip to Hanoi, hoping to clarify the peace terms of the Vietnamesegovernment and the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam.

Because of his advocacy and practice of civil disobedience, Lynd was unableto continue as a full-time history teacher. e history departments at fiveChicago-area universities offered him positions, only to have the offers neg-atived by university or state administrators. In 1976, Staughton became alawyer and until his retirement at the end of 1996 worked for Legal Servicesin Youngstown, Ohio. He specialized in employment law.

Marx’s treatment of natural con-ditions possesses an inner logic,coherence, and analytical powerthat has not been previously rec-ognized.

Though infrequently viewedas an environmental thinker, KarlMarx insisted that production asa social and material process is shaped and constrained by both his-torically developed relations among producers and natural conditions.Paul Burkett shows that it is Marx’s overriding concern with humanemancipation that impels him to approach nature from the standpointof materialist history, sociology, and critical political economy.

Paul Burkett earned his doctorate in economics from Syracuse Universityand is a professor of economics at Indiana State University, Terre Haute. Hispublications include Marxism and Ecological Economics and many articles inscholarly journals.

Few figures from the revolutionary struggles of the early twenti-eth century continue to be more polarizing than Vladimir Lenin.Caricatured by both the defenders of the market and those re-maining political apologists for state socialism as an inflexibleand impatient insurrectionist, in this pamphlet—perhaps hismost important and relevant work—Lenin makes a clear argu-ment that for radicals, struggling through existing democraticchannels is not an option, but an essential step on the road torevolution. is new edition provides a critical introduction andadditional explanatory materials.

Praise for Lenin and the Revolutionary Party:“A work of unusual strength and coherence, inspired not by academicneutrality but by the deep conviction that there is much to learn fromthe actual ideas and experiences of Lenin.”

—Michael Löwy

As a leader of the Russian Revolution, Vladimir Lenin was per-haps the greatest revolutionary of the twentieth century. eseclearly written essays offer an account of his life and times, alively view of his personality, and a stimulating engagement withhis ideas.

The capitalist crisis of the twenty-first century has been met by a resurgenceof interest in critical Marxist theory. At the same time, the publishing insti-tutions committed to Marxism have contracted markedly since the highpoint of the 1970s. The Historical Materialism book series is dedicated toaddressing this situation by making available important works of Marxisttheory. The aim of the series is to publish important theoretical contributionsas the basis for vigorous intellectual debate and exchange on the left.

The peer-reviewed series publishes original monographs, translated texts,and reprints of classics across the bounds of academic disciplinary agendasand across the divisions of the left. The series is particularly concerned withencouraging the internationalization of Marxist debate, and aims to translatesignificant studies from beyond the English-speaking world.

The Historical Materialism book series will expand significantly over the com-ing years with substantial and important books in all areas of Marxist theory.We are undertaking a project of publishing previously untranslated texts byMarx, long-unavailable debates from the Second and Third Internationals,and English editions of important studies from the postwar period. Equallysignificantly, we also aim to publish the work of the emerging generation ofMarxist scholars and theorists.

Marxism and the Oppression

of WomenToward a Unitary Theory

Lise VogelIntroduction by Susan Ferguson

and David McNally

“Every book has its curious life his-tory. While some soar to greatheights of success on a wave ofpublic acclaim, others quickly plunge into obscurity. en thereare those that live a largely underground existence, kept alivethrough the efforts of small bands of dedicated followers whospread the word in defiance of a larger silence. e latter is thestory of Lise Vogel’s Marxism and the Oppression of Women.”

—from the new introduction by Sue Ferguson and David McNally

In this pioneering work of Marxist feminism, Lise Vogelrevisits classic Marxist texts, tracking analyses of the“woman question” in socialist theory from Marx’s timethrough the Russian Revolution. From this survey andthrough the use of the central theoretical concepts of Marx’sCapital, Vogel opens up an original theory of gender andthe social production and reproduction of material life.

Lise Vogel, a veteran of the U.S. civil-rights and women’s-liberationmovements, is the author of numerous books and articles. Beforebecoming a sociologist, she had an earlier career in art history.

Monsters of the Market

Zombies, Vampires and Global Capitalism

David McNally

“This outstanding new workfrom David McNally is indis-pensable for serious monsterfans and radicals both—and al-

most giddyingly so for those of us who are both.” —China Miéville, author of Embassytown

Everywhere the market goes it spawns monsters in its wake.From Frankenstein to zombies, McNally analyzes these crea-tures of capitalism.

Drawing on folklore, literature, and popular culture,this book links tales of monstrosity from England to recentvampire and zombie fables from sub-Saharan Africa, andit connects these to Marx’s persistent use of monstermetaphors in his descriptions of capitalism. Reading acrossthese tales of the grotesque, McNally offers a novel accountof the cultural economy of the global market system.

David McNally is professor of political science at York Univer-sity, Toronto. He is the author of five previous books and haspublished widely on political economy, Marxism, and contem-porary social justice movements.

Theory as History

Essays on Modes of Productionand Exploitation

Jairus Banaji

“Banaji’s seemingly idiosyncraticbut in fact highly sophisticatedand original approach to histori-cal analysis provides not only awelcome stimulus and a challenge for scholars today but alsowill give them plenty to think about for many years to come.”

—Marcel van der Linden, International Institute of Social History

Forty years of research in historiography and Marxism fo-cused on the concept of “modes of production.”

e essays collected herein deal with the Marxist no-tion of a “mode of production,” the emergence of me-dieval relations of production, the origins of capitalism,the dichotomy between free and unfree labor, and agrarianhistory. ey demonstrate the importance of reintegratingtheory with history and of bringing history back into his-torical materialism.

Studies in Critical Social Sciences

Editor: David Fasenfest

Modern capitalism began the twenty-first century seemingly victorious asthe dominant social and economic organizing principle in the world. Ram-pant regulation and deregulation accompanied a wholesale attack on thesocial, economic, and political gains of the prior century under the guiseof increasing competitiveness and the need to respond to the forces of glob-alization. The end of the Cold War, the decline of the former Soviet Union,and the increasing foothold of capitalism in China all point to an unchal-lenged reorientation of the global political economy to reflect this ascen-dance of capitalist social relations.

The peer-reviewed Studies in Critical Social Sciences book series, through thepublication of original manuscripts and edited volumes, offers insights intothe current reality by exploring the content and consequence of power rela-tionships under capitalism, by considering the spaces of opposition and re-sistance to these changes, and by articulating capitalism with other systems ofpower and domination—for example race, gender, culture—that have beendefining our new age.

Studies in Critical Social Sciences includes the subseries Studies in CriticalResearch on Religion and Critical Global Studies.


Empires and WallsGlobalization, Migration, and Colonial DominationMohammad A. Chaichian

Max Weber’s Theory of Personality

Individuation, Politics and Orientalism in the Sociology of Religion

Sara R. Farris

Although walls are usually viewed as asymbol of imperial might, Chaichian argues that they better fit as signs of anempire’s decline.

Why do empires build walls and fences? is volumemeticulously examines the rise and fall of walls that are nolonger around as well as the impending fate of “neoliberal” bar-riers that imperial and colonial powers have erected recently.Chaichian provides compelling evidence that regardless of theirrationale and functions, walls always signal the fading powerof an empire.

Mohammad A. Chaichian is an architect, urban planner, and professor of soci-ology at Mount Mercy University. He is the author of White Racism on the West-ern Urban Frontier and Town and Country in the Middle East.

Max Weber is widely considered to bethe founding father of sociology, yetSarah Farris’s excellently argued bookshows that Weber was also deeply orientalist.

Max Weber’s writings in e Sociology of Religion are todayacknowledged as a classic of the social sciences. ey are keytexts for understanding Weber’s central sociological conceptsconcerning Western and Eastern “civilizations,” and, accordingto this book rely on a deeply flawed and essentially orientalistconcept of personality.

Sara R. Farris studied at the University of Rome “La Sapienza.” She is lec-turer in sociology at Goldsmiths University of London. She was memberscholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 2012–2013.She has published on sociological theory, political sociology, orientalism,and gender studies.

Capital Accumulation and Migration

Dennis Canterbury

An important and ground-breaking work on the impor-tance of migration in thecontext of development studies.

Despite the renewed interest in the impact of migra-tion upon economic development in general, remarkablyfew studies have taken up the ways in which the geo-graphic flows of labor impact capital accumulation itself.Capital Accumulation and Migration attempts to fill thisgap by analyzing a wide breadth of literature dealing withthe changes to the global economy under neoliberalism,with a particular focus on examining the ways in whichthe migration process has been financialized and has thusbeen transformed into a source of profits.

Dennis C. Canterbury is associate professor of sociology at East-ern Connecticut State University. He has published extensivelyon development issues, including Neoliberal Democratizationand New Authoritarianism. He has been a visiting professor inthe Institute of Development Studies and Department of Soci-ology and Anthropology at the University of Cape Coast,Ghana, and winner of the Connecticut State University 2009System-Wide Research Award.

Profitable IdeasThe Ideology of the Individual

in Capitalist DevelopmentMicheal O’Flynn

O’Flynn demonstrates the waythat liberal ideas have servedthe interests of capitalist devel-opment from their very beginning.

Scholarly attempts to explain the development of liberalindividualism over the course of modern history have tendedto focus on key principles and doctrines. As a correction,this book shows that as capitalism develops the theories, doc-trines, and moral precepts comprising liberal individualismchange and evolve, while its vital social function is preserved.

Micheal O’Flynn is an associated lecturer in social science withthe Open University and teaches sociology part-time at the Uni-versity of Limerick. He has published articles for Critique: Jour-nal of Socialist Ideas, EU Reporter, and book reviews for Reviewof Radical Political Economy and Millennium.

9.5 Theses on Art and Class

Ben Davis

In 9.5 eses on Art and Class,Ben Davis takes on a broadarray of contemporary art’smost persistent debates: Howdoes creative labor fit into theeconomy? Is art merging withfashion and entertainment? What can we expect from po-litical art? Davis argues that returning class to the centerof discussion can play a vital role in tackling the challengesthat visual art faces today, including the biggest challengeof all—how to maintain faith in art itself in a dysfunc-tional world.

“Refreshing doesn’t begin to describe it. With his scalpel, hegoes at the problem of contemporary art’s “general esotericcharacter” and its predominant status as a luxury good, call-ing for universal art education and a workforce of artists-as-teachers. He addresses DIY, the Arab Spring, the war onterror, and Occupy, and he stays urgently on target.”

—Jen Graves, the Stranger

Ben Davis is executive editor of Artinfo.com. His writings haveappeared in Adbusters, the Brooklyn Rail, Slate, the Village Voice,and many other publications.

“Unsparing, scathingly direct, and gut-wrenching.”—Andrew Bacevich

Islamophobiaand the Politics

of Empire��Deepa Kumar�

In response to the events of9/11, the Bush administrationlaunched a “war on terror”ushering in an era of anti-Muslim racism, or Islamopho-bia. However, 9/11 did not create Islamophobia, an ide-ology that has become the handmaiden of imperialism.is book examines the historic relationship between Is-lamophobia and the agenda of empire-building.

“Powerful, necessary, and a true work of solidarity."—Ali Abunimah

“In this deftly argued book, Kumar unearths a genealogy ofcolonial construction that goes back to the earliest contactsbetween Muslims and Europeans. But the real power ofher argument is when she grabs the politics of ideologicaldomination by the throat and, with an astonishing moraland intellectual force, sets the record straight as to who andwhat the players are in turning a pathological fear of Mus-lims into a cornerstone of imperial hegemony.”

—Hamid Dabashi, professor of Iranian studies and comparativeliterature, Columbia University

understaffed schools, the Chicago teachers’ strike of 2012transformed the debate. From the overwhelming strikeauthorization vote that overcame anti-union legislationto repeated mass marches and protests, the ChicagoTeachers Union showed teachers were determined tomaker their voices heard in response to corporate-driveneducation reform.

The Battle for Justice

in PalestineAli Abunimah

In this essential work, journal-ist Ali Abunimah takes a com-prehensive look at the shiftingtides of the politics of Palestine and the Israelis in a neolib-eral world—and makes a compelling and surprising casefor why the Palestine solidarity movement just might win.

“This is the best book on Palestine in the last decade.” —Joseph Massad

“This is the book to read to understand the present bizarreand ongoing complexity of the Palestine/Israel tragedy. Andthough it is filled with the grim reality of this long anddeadly, ugly and dehumanizing conflict, it also offers hope:that as more people awaken to the shocking reality of whathas for decades been going on, we can bring understand-ing and restitution to the Palestinian people.”

—Alice Walker

Ali Abunimah is the author of One Country: A Bold Proposal toEnd the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse and cofounder and directorof the Electronic Intifada.

The Meaning of Marxism��

Paul D’Amato�

It is fashionable for pundits todeclare every so often thatMarxism is dead. As the late

socialist author Daniel Singer aptly put it, their aim “is todoom as impossible a radical, fundamental transformationof existing society.”

But you can’t keep a good theory down. e poverty,class inequality, war, and environmental degradation thattoday’s globalized capitalist system creates on an ever-ex-panding scale raises questions for which Marxism still of-fers fresh and relevant answers.

is book is a lively and accessible introduction to theideas of Karl Marx, as well as other key Marxists, with his-torical and contemporary examples. e Meaning ofMarxism shows that a “radical, fundamental transforma-tion of existing society” is indeed not only possible buturgently necessary.

Paul D’Amato is managing editor of the International SocialistReview. His writing has appeared in CounterPunch, SocialistWorker, and Selves and Others.

Palante��Young Lords Party,�Michael Abramson

Introduction by Iris Morales�

In 1969, a group of young,primarily Puerto Rican ac-tivists founded the YoungLords Party in New York City,taking inspiration from theBlack Panther Party. Dramatictakeovers of institutions—such as e People’s Church, where they ran a free break-fast program, and Lincoln Hospital, where they held freetesting for tuberculosis and lead poisoning—broughtmedia and public attention to the socioeconomic and po-litical situation of people of color in the United States.

Palante, the first book by and about the radical organ-ization, is brought back into print here with new intro-ductory material. Capturing the spirit and actions of thesixties movements, Palante features political essays bymembers, oral histories of their lives leading into the party,and more than seventy-five photos of their vibrant mem-bership and actions.

Michael Abramson is a photographer and publisher who livesin Brooklyn, New York.

Iris Morales is the producer of the documentary ¡Palante, SiemprePalante! e Young Lords, which aired on PBS, and is the executivedirector of the Union Square Awards.

Lineages of Revolt

Issues of Contemporary Capitalism in the Middle East

Adam Hanieh

While the outcomes of the tumultuous uprisings thatcontinue to transfix the Arabworld remain uncertain, theroot causes of rebellion persist.

Drawing upon extensive empirical research, Lineages ofRevolt tracks the major shifts in the region’s political econ-omy over recent decades. In this illuminating and originalwork, Adam Hanieh explores the contours of neoliberalpolicies, dynamics of class and state formation, imperial-ism and the nature of regional accumulation, the signifi-cance of Palestine and the Gulf Arab states, and theramifications of the global economic crisis. By mappingthe complex and contested nature of capitalism in theMiddle East, the book demonstrates that a full under-standing of the uprisings needs to go beyond a simplefocus on “dictators and democracy.”

Adam Hanieh teaches Development Studies at the School ofOriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.He is author of Capitalism and Class in the Gulf Arab States.

Reading Revolution Shakespeare on Robben Island Ashwin Desai

“In Reading Revolution,one cannot help thinkingabout the present as one pages through the past. Thestruggles, the ideals, the dreams that course through thepages somehow do not gel with what is present-day SouthAfrica. And then one reads the final chapter. Here AshwinDesai vividly stitches the past into the present. And herelies the power of the book, because it’s not just anotherstory that seeks to use the history of Robben Island as abackdrop to redemption but as a critique and spur to re-newed activism.”

—Marcus Solomon, prisoner on Robben Island, 1964–1974

Shakespeare’s work gave hope and inspiration to the politicalprisoners held on apartheid South Africa’s infamous RobbenIsland. rough the memories and biographical accounts offormer inmates like Nelson Mandela, the book evocativelybrings to life the power of the the written word, as well asthe voices of these brilliant and courageous prisoners.

Desai teaches at the Workers’ College in Durban, South Africa,and is a newspaper columnist. He is the author of Arise YeCoolies, South Africa: Still Revolting and We Are the Poors: Com-munity Struggles in Post-Apartheid South Africa.

e Center for Economic Research and SocialChange (CERSC) is dedicated to a better un-derstanding of today’s world, and helping to putforward the vision of a better future. Our cen-tral goal is education. By highlighting alterna-tive voices, especially those that have beenpushed to the margins, we hope to contributeto a greater insight and awareness of the injus-tices that exist in society and the many effortsat the grassroots to right these wrongs. CERSC’sprojects include the book publisher HaymarketBooks, the bimonthly magazine InternationalSocialist Review, the audio and video archivewearemany.org, and numerous educationalevents and conferences.

Center for Economic Research and Social Change

About WeAreMany.orgPercy Bysshe Shelley’s famous poem, “Mask of Anarchy,” gave us the name for thissite. e poem is a powerful call to action for the oppressed and exploited of theworld to organize together against tyranny and injustice, which we feel well expressesour own motivation for collecting the resources in this site:

Rise like Lions after slumberIn unvanquishable number—Shake your chains to earth like dewWhich in sleep had fallen on you—Ye are many—they are few.

ere are so many voices and so many struggles scattered across the planet (and theInternet). We are attempting to gather these voices “in unvanquishable number” intoa site that can offer a platform and, we hope, inspiration for action. e obstacles ac-tivists face today, like those faced by workers and the oppressed in Shelley’s day, aregreat. But our numbers are greater, and with solidarity and unity we can hope tobegin to make changes in the systems we oppose.

is site cannot be exhaustive, and that is not our intent. We are simply trying tooffer a small sampling of the best radical audio and video sources we know of. Weknow that the Internet provides vast opportunities to share information and ideas,but we do not believe that this can replace the real actions of real people. We encour-age our visitors, friends, fellow-travelers, and comrades to take inspiration from thepeople included here into their own struggles for justice.

e idea of this website first came from the annual Socialism conferences, packedwith so many speakers and discussions and debates and our desire to share these dis-cussions with others on a single platform. We had collected hundreds of talks andmeetings over the years, but had never shared them in a coherent way. We hope youfind this effort useful.


About Haymarket Books

“I am honored to be published by Haymarket Books. Haymarket Zindabad!”—Arundhati Roy

“Haymarket is Woody Guthrie’s guitar, a red lighthouse, and the promiseof May. Mazel tov.”

—Mike Davis

“I am so glad Haymarket is here and thriving. We need left publishers,a left intellectual community, and never more than now when thestreets are beginning to rumble.”

—Frances Fox Piven

“Haymarket is one of the very few publishers to capture the voices ofthe movements that are happening right now. Thanks to all of you atHaymarket for getting our stories out there.”

—José Vasquez

“I’m so honored to be associated with Haymarket on their tenth an-niversary. The honor lies in being associated with a publishing housethat shows true dignity and honesty.”

—Dr. John Carlos

“I’m so proud to be a part of the Haymarket family.”—Amy Goodman

“We all know that the country desperately needs a revived, organized,active, and engaged left, to reverse today’s extremely dangerous course,and soon. Haymarket has its work cut out for it. And, fortunately, it hascreated a solid basis for helping to lead the way towards a more hope-ful future.”

—Noam Chomsky

Haymarket Books is a nonprofit,progressive book distributor andpublisher. We believe that ac-tivists need to take ideas, history,and politics into the many strug-gles for social justice today.Learning the lessons of past victories, as well as defeats, can arm anew generation of fighters for a better world. As Karl Marx said,“e philosophers have merely interpreted the world; the point,however, is to change it.”

We take inspiration and courage from our namesakes, the Hay-market Martyrs, who gave their lives fighting for a better world.eir 1886 struggle for the eight-hour day, which gave us May Day,the international workers’ holiday, reminds workers around theworld that ordinary people can organize and struggle for their ownliberation. ese struggles continue today across the globe—strug-gles against oppression, exploitation, hunger, and poverty.


“The ISR has been a regular source of informed analysis and thoughtfulcommentary, invaluable to an activist left intent on changing the world.Its revival as a quarterly is a very welcome event in these troubled butauspicious times.”

—Noam Chomsky

“The ISR has long been a beacon of intelligent and polished, but utterlyuncompromising socialist politics. Its relaunch will do much to helpreinvigorate Marxist praxis in the twenty-first century.”

—Bhaskar Sunkara, Jacobin magazine
