At Haymarket, our mission is to publish books that contribute to struggles for social and economic justice. We strive to make our books a vibrant and organic part of social movements and the education and development of a critical, engaged, and internationalist Left.

To that end, we work with a wide range of organizations and groups that utilize our titles in their political education and organizing work, and we’ve compiled a list of key titles for organizers below. 

Many of these books also have associated supplementary resources available to support discussion groups—listed below, where available. Be sure to check back here regularly, as we hope to add more resources soon!
