About Haymarket Books Haymarket Books is a nonprofit, progressive book distributor and publisher. We believe that activists need to take ideas, history, and politics into the many struggles for social justice today. Learning the lessons of past victories, as well as defeats, can arm a new generation of fighters for a better world. As Karl Marx said, “The philosophers have merely interpreted the world; the point, however, is to change it.” “Haymarket is thriving in this tumultuous time because it publishes books that no conglomerate would touch. Haymarket, blissfully free of the preoccupation with profit, has a higher calling: to publish books that build movements.” —Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein “With speed, panache, élan, and rigor, Haymarket Books has made itself an indispensable resource to the thinking radical.” —China Miéville “Haymarket is Woody Guthrie’s guitar, a red lighthouse, and the promise of May.” —Mike Davis

Things That Can and Cannot Be Said Arundhati Roy and John Cusack

In this rich dialogue on surveillance, empire, and power, Roy and Cusack describe meeting NSA whistle­blower Edward Snowden in Moscow.​ “Arundhati Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers of our time.” —Naomi Klein “[Roy is] an electrifying political essayist. . . . So fluent is her prose, so keen her understanding of global politics, and so resonant her objections to nuclear weapons, assaults against the environment, and the endless suffering of the poor that her essays are as uplifting as they are galvanizing.” —Booklist “The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves humanity moves my heart.” —Alice Walker In late 2014, Arundhati Roy, John Cusack, and Daniel Ellsberg travelled to Moscow to meet with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The result was a series of essays and dialogues in which Roy and Cusack reflect on their conversations with Snowden. In these provocative and penetrating discussions, Roy and Cusack discuss the nature of the state, empire, and surveillance in an era of perpetual war; the meaning of flags and patriotism; the role of foundations and NGOs in limiting dissent; and the ways in which capital but not people can freely cross borders. Arundhati Roy studies architecture in New Delhi, India, where she now

lives. She is the author of the novel The God of Small Things, for which she received the 1997 Booker Prize. The novel has been translated into forty languages worldwide. She has written several nonfiction books, including Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers and Capitalism: A Ghost Story, both published by Haymarket Books.

John Cusack is a writer, a filmmaker, and a board member of the Freedom of the Press Foundation. 978-1-60846-717-4 • Trade Paper • $9.95 • 120 pages • October 2016

Demand the Impossible!​ A Radical Manifesto Bill Ayers

Demand the Impossible! is a manifesto for movementmakers and an invitation to join hands and make history together.​ In an era defined by mass incarceration, endless war, economic crisis, catastrophic environmental destruction, and a political system offering more of the same, radical social transformation has never been more urgent—or seemed more remote. Demand the Impossible! urges us to imagine a world beyond what this rotten system would have us believe is possible. In critiquing the world around us, insurgent educator and activist Bill Ayers uncovers cracks in the system, raises the horizons for radical change, and envisions strategies for building the movement we need to make a world worth living in. “Demand the Impossible! is more than a book, more than a manifesto. It is a torch. Bill Ayers’s vision for a humane future is incendiary—fire that incinerates old logics and illuminates new paths. If we do not end the violence of militarism, materialism, caging, dispossession, debt, want, ignorance, and global warming, our very survival is impossible. Read aloud.” –Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination Bill Ayers is a social justice activist, teacher, Distinguished Professor of Ed-

ucation (retired) at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and author of two memoirs, Fugitive Days and Public Enemy.

Long Shot​

The Struggles and Triumphs of an NBA Freedom Fighter

Craig Hodges and Rory Fanning, with an introduction by Dave Zirin “It is time to remove Craig Hodges from exile status and place him where he has always belonged: on the shortlist of the activist athletes who stood tall, paid the price and now live their lives perhaps scarred, but without regrets. Read this book so a new generation of NBA players and fans will know his true story. Read this book to say not in a whisper but with a confident shout, ‘You DO want to be like Craig Hodges.’” —Dave Zirin, from the Introduction Blackballed NBA champion Craig Hodges explores the challenges and rewards of using a celebrity platform to stand up against racism and exploitation.​From Michael Jordan to George H. W. Bush, Craig Hodges has never been shy about speaking truth to power—and it cost him dearly. In the prime of his career, Hodges was blackballed from the NBA for using his platform as a professional athlete to stand up against racism and economic exploitation. In this well-told and passionate memoir, Hodges shares the stories of his lifelong crusade to improve conditions for African Americans, including his collaborations with Jim Brown, R. Kelly, Nelson Mandela, Coretta Scott King, Michael Jordan, and more. Craig Hodges played in the NBA for ten seasons, during which time he led

the league in three-point shooting percentage three times. He won two NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls in 1991 and 1992 and is a three-time Three-Point Contest champion at All-Star Weekend.

Rory Fanning walked across the United States for the Pat Tillman Foun-

dation in 2008 and 2009, following two deployments to Afghanistan with the Second Army Ranger Battalion. He is the author of Worth Fighting For: An Army Ranger’s Journey Out of the Military and Across America. Fanning works at Haymarket Books.

The Violent “American Century”​

War and Terror Since World War II John Dower

World War II marked the apogee of industrialized “total war.” Great powers savaged one and other. Hostilities engulfed the globe. The mobilization extended to virtually every sector of every nation. Air war, including the terror bombing of civilians, emerged as a central strategy of the victorious Anglo-American powers. The devastation was catastrophic almost everywhere, with the notable exception of the United States, which exited the strife unscathed and unmatched in power and influence. The death toll of the fighting forces and civilians worldwide was staggering. The Violent “American Century” addresses the United States–led transformations in war conduct and strategizing that followed 1945—beginning with brutal localized hostilities, proxy wars, and the nuclear terror of the Cold War and ending with the asymmetrical conflicts of the present day. Today, the military playbook meshes brute force with a focus on nonstate terrorism, counterinsurgency, clandestine operations, a vast web of overseas American military bases, and—most touted of all—a revolutionary new era of computerized “precision” warfare. In contrast to World War II, postwar death and destruction has been comparatively small. By any other measure, it has been appalling—and shows no sign of abating. The winner of numerous national prizes for his historical writings, including the Pulitzer and the National Book Award for Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II, John Dower draws heavily on hard data and internal US planning and pronouncements in this concise analysis of war and terror in our time. In doing so, he places US policy and practice firmly within the broader context of global mayhem, havoc, and slaughter since World War II—always with bottom-line attentiveness to the human costs of this legacy of unceasing violence.

Splinterlands​ John Feffer

Julian West, looking backward from 2050, tries to understand why the world and his family have fallen apart. P​ art Field Notes from a Catastrophe, part 1984, and part World War Z, John Feffer’s striking new dystopian novel takes us deep into the battered, shattered world of 2050. The European Union has broken apart. Great powers like Russia and China have shriveled. America’s global military footprint has virtually disappeared and the United States remains united in name only. Nationalism has proven the century’s most enduring force, as ever-rising global temperatures have supercharged each-against-all competition and conflict among the now 300-plus members of an increasingly feeble United Nations. As he navigates the world of 2050, Julian West offers a roadmap for the path we’re already on, a chronicle of impending disaster, and a faint light of hope. He may be humanity’s last best chance to explain how the world unraveled—if he can survive the savage beauty of the Splinterlands. John Feffer is the director of Foreign Policy in Focus at the Institute for

Policy Studies. In 2012 and 2013, he was also an Open Society Fellow looking at the transformations that have taken place in Eastern Europe since 1989. He is the author of several books and numerous articles. He has also produced six plays, including three one-man shows, and published a novel.

“When the Welfare People Come” R​ ace and Class in the US Child Protection System Don Lash

In this groundbreaking look at the history and politics of the US child protection system, “When the Welfare People Come” exposes the system in its totality, from child protective investigation to foster care and mandated services, arguing that it constitutes a mechanism of control exerted over poor and working-class parents and children. Unmasking the racist nature of the child protection system (where Black and Indigenous children are disproportionately represented), Lash supplements historical analysis with first-person narratives, with the voices of parents and foster youth bringing to light the present-day abuses and injustices of these institutions, which have played a troublesome role in our history. Lash’s analysis lays bare the historical continuity of the system, even as its immediate concerns and ideological justifications have shifted. From its emergence in the nineteenth century, fear of violent social disruption was paired with moralistic rhetoric to justify intervention and regulation, while today’s system emphasizes a “cycle of dependency” and “treatment” of families deemed “pathological.” Disturbingly, as Lash documents, changes in the structure, rationale, and priorities have not altered the essential relationship between the child welfare system and the families it regulates. “When the Welfare People Come” concludes by pointing a way forward for positive reform, including parent-led initiatives and labor-parent-community solidarity, Don Lash is an attorney who has practiced in the areas of disability rights,

education, and child welfare for more than twenty years.

Struggle or Starve​

Working-Class Unity in Belfast’s 1932 Outdoor Relief Riots Seán Mitchell

The story of how thousands of Catholics and Protestants united to challenge poverty and unemployment in Belfast, Ireland.​ “It is brilliant that Seán Mitchell has brought these great events back to life. It will be an inspiration to unite again in today’s struggles.” —Ken Loach, director of The Wind that Shakes the Barley “All the binary stereotypes of Belfast’s history are challenged in this extraordinary account of how a small group of working-class Communists led an uprising of tens of thousands of Protestant and Catholic unemployed in October 1932. As Mitchell so vividly shows, the Outdoor Relief Movement shook the sectarian North of Ireland statelet to its very foundations.” —Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums “This is history from below: raucous, sprawling, unconstrained by the imposition of an Orange/Green paradigm on events which arose from an entirely different aspect of Belfast’s social being, bristling with intimations of a different way of political life.” —Eamonn McCann, author, journalist, and civil rights veteran In October 1932, the streets of Belfast were gripped by vicious and widespread rioting that lasted the better part of a week. Thousands of unarmed demonstrators fought pitched battles against heavily armed police. Unemployed workers and whole working-class communities dug trenches and built barricades to hold off the police assault. The event became known as the Outdoor Relief Riot—one of the few instances in which class sympathy managed to trump sectarian loyalties in a city famous for its divisions. Seán Mitchell lives in Dublin, Ireland, and is a founding member of People Before Profit. He was the first person to stand for election under the party’s banner.

Urban Revolt​

State Power and the Rise of People’s Movements in the Global South Edited by Trevor Ngwane, Luke Sinwell, and Immanuel Ness

Through detailed case studies, Urban Revolt unravels the potential and limitations of urban social movements on an international level and provides a new theoretical perspective on their revolutionary potential. The book draws cases from Asia to Latin America, written by scholars and activists at the forefront of the urban social movements in these countries. The case studies aim to address not only the extent to which movements challenge neoliberalism, but also capitalism itself. Using South Africa as a lens, the book discusses social movements in Mexico, India, and beyond, further highlighting the ways in which the supremacy of multinational capital has advanced poverty, particularly in the global South. The book is divided into three primary sections or themes. The first is antiracist movements and community responses to police brutality. The next is service-delivery movements. The final section covers movements that seek to instill alternative, transformative forms of governance to those offered under the capitalist system. Each of these thematic areas begins with a brief introduction by the editors. Trevor Ngwane is attached to the Research Chair for Social Change at the University of Johannesburg, in which he is a researcher in the Rebellion of the Poor protest monitoring and database compilation project. Luke Sinwell is a coauthor of Marikana: A View from the Mountain and a Case to Answer and the coeditor of Contesting Transformation: Popular Resistance in Twenty-First-Century South Africa. Immanuel Ness is the author of multiple books, including Ours to Master and

to Own: Workers’ Control from the Commune to the Present.

The Last Day of Oppression, and the First Day of the Same​ The Politics and Economics of the New Latin American Left Jeffery R. Webber

This book offers an overarching political and economic evaluation of the Latin American left between the late 1990s and 2016.​ “One of the best Anglophone Marxists writing about Latin America, Webber hits on all of the main questions facing the Latin American left today.” —Lance Selfa, author of The Democrats: A Critical History In this penetrating volume, Jeffery Webber explains the political dynamics and conflicts underpinning the contradictory evolution of left-wing governments and social movements in Latin America in the last two decades. Webber grounds his study in an analysis of trends in capitalist accumulation from 1990 to 2015 throughout Latin America and particularly in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, and Venezuela. He explains inequality there today with a decolonial Marxist framework rooted in a new understanding of class and its complex associations with racial and gender oppression. Webber also discusses Indigenous and peasant resistance to the expansion of private mining, agro-industry, and natural gas and oil activities. The book concludes with chapters on “passive revolution” in Bolivia under Evo Morales (2006–15) and debates around dual power and class composition during the era of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela (1999–2013). Jeffery R. Webber is a lecturer in the School of Politics and International

Relations at Queen Mary, University of London. He is the author of several books on Latin America, including From Rebellion to Reform in Bolivia: Class Struggle, Indigenous Liberation, and the Politics of Evo Morales (2011) and Red October: Left-Indigenous Struggles in Modern Bolivia (2011).

Song of the Stubborn One Thousand​ The Watsonville Canning Strike, 1985–87 Peter Shapiro

An account of the successful strike by mainly Mexican women workers at the largest plant in Watsonville, California.​ “Peter Shapiro combines wonderful storytelling with a sharp historian’s analysis to explain an important but little-known corner of the United States labor movement. Song of the Stubborn One Thousand is a story of hope and inspiration. It’s a must read for anyone interested in the power of working people and minorities.” —Journalist Reese Erlich, who covered the strike for the Christian Science Monitor On September 9, 1985, one thousand mainly Mexican women workers in Watsonville, California, the “frozen food capital of the world,” were forced out on strike in response to an attempt by Watsonville Canning owner Mort Console to break their union. Before the eighteen-month strike was over, they had foiled a company attempt to decertify their union, forced Mort Console to sell his plant to avoid bankruptcy, and finally won a settlement from the new owner, despite having been advised by the Teamsters that the strike was formally over and they could no longer count on union support. The Watsonville Canning strike was a dramatic show of power by women workers, whose struggle became a rallying point for the Chicano movement. In the course of the strike, a virtually moribund local union was revitalized and Watsonville’s Latino/a majority emerged as a major force in local politics. Peter Shapiro is a retired letter carrier and longtime labor journalist. His

union paper was repeatedly honored during his tenure as editor, and he has published in Labor Notes, Labor Studies Journal, Unity, and the Nation.

While their efforts bore fruit, many obstacles remain today. Reproductive Rights and Wrongs will provide knowledge and inspiration to a new generation of readers who continue to fight for reproductive rights and social, environmental, and gender justice. “Hartmann argues—and substantiates—that rapid population growth is a symptom, rather than a cause, of problematic economic and social development.” —From the foreword by Helen Rodriguez-Trias, past president, American Public Health Association

Second Edition

Leon Trotsky, with a new preface by Ralph Schoenman 1905 chronicles the key developments that led to revolution and the unsuccessful attempt at overthrowing the Tsar of Russia. ​Despite being long out of print, 1905 has remained the central point of reference for those looking to understand the rising of workers, peasants, and soldiers that nearly unseated the Tsar in 1905. Trotsky’s elegant, beautifully written account draws on his experience as a key leader of the revolution. Leon Trotsky was a key leader of the Russian Revolution. Forced into exile in 1928, Trotsky devoted the rest of his life to fighting the degeneration of the revolution and rise of a new dictatorial regime. Vilified and isolated, he fought an uncompromising battle with the Stalinist bureaucracy, defending the revolutionary and internationalist principles upon which the revolution was based. In 1940, he was murdered by an agent of the Stalinist regime. 978-1-60846-735-8 • Trade Paper • $22 • 488 pages • October 2016

A winner of the Isaac Deutscher Prize, Liebmann highlights democratic dimensions in Lenin’s thinking as it developed over twenty-five years.​ In this comprehensive and dynamic work, Liebman writes about the dogmatism and sterility that plague most appraisals of Lenin, and persuasively makes the case that the Russian revolutionary’s political ideas have an enduring relevance for today’s activists. “From Leninism Under Lenin there emerges a living and eminently revolutionary Lenin, not a ‘blunted’ one—that is, a Lenin who sometimes hesitates and makes mistakes, who seeks his way forward with the help of a theory which is not a ready-made answer to every problem. . . . There is a striking similarity with the masterly biography of Trotsky by Isaac Deutscher.” —Ernest Mandel

Studies in Critical Social Sciences Editor: David Fasenfest

Modern capitalism began the twenty-first century seemingly victorious as the dominant social and economic organizing principle in the world. Rampant regulation and 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 under capitalism, by considering the spaces of opposition and resistance to these changes, and by articulating capitalism with other systems of power and domination—for example 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.

Historical Materialism Book Series

Editorial Board: Sébastien 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.

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

“Haymarket is thriving in this tumultuous time because it publishes books that no conglomerate would touch. Haymarket, blissfully free of the preoccupation with profit, has a higher calling: to publish books that build movements.” —Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein
