In 2021, Haymarket celebrates 20 years of radical, independent publishing.
Founded in 2001, with a mission to publish books that contribute to struggles for social and economic justice, Haymarket has now published over 1,000 titles. Ranging from bestselling books about current events, to urgent interventions about activist strategy, to indispensable histories of past struggles, to re-publications of out-of-print classics, we strive to publish books that contribute to the development of a critical, engaged, international left.
Here, we've put together a reading list celebrating two decades of publishing books for changing the world, representing Haymarket's history and mission. All of these books are currently 40% Off, as part of our 20th anniversary sale.
In 2026, we’re celebrating 25 years of publishing “Books for Changing the World.” In those 25 years, we’ve helped build critical space and infrastructure for radical ideas and movements on the left to grow. That work of institution-building and popular political education has never been more necessary or more urgent. We need your help to continue to do this work.
