Survival Pending Revolution: Historical Materialism in a Pandemic Age

As an alternative to the annual London Conference, the Historical Materialism Editorial Board has curated a small number of panels to maintain conversations and give comrades intellectual nourishment between the 5th and the 15th November. 

Topics covered will include: the US election; the Coronavirus pandemic; class, race, and capital; Marxism and intersectionality; social reproduction; queer Marxism; history, law, and capitalism; and more. After they've aired live, sessions will remain viewable on Haymarket's YouTube channel.

At Haymarket, we are offering 50% Off the entire Historical Materialism Book Series for the duration of the virtual conference.
