This year, Haymarket has been proud to collaborate with Kaepernick Publishing to make two crucial books available: Abolition for the People: The Movement for a Future Without Policing and Prisons, the indispensable abolitionist primer—now available in paperback, and Our History Has Always Been Contraband: In Defense of Black Studies, a timely intervention against the Right’s all out attacks on anti-racist education and Black studies.
For a limited time, purchase both books for (less than) $25!
Free study guides are available for download:

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.
