STUDIES IN CRITICAL SOCIAL SCIENCES
Haymarket Books is pleased to be working with Brill Academic Publishers to reprint the Studies in Critical Social Sciences book series, edited by David Fasenfest, now available for the first time in paperback. We believe that the U.S. release of the 11 new titles in this series represents an important new addition to Marxist theory and research in the social sciences.
This peer reviewed series includes titles which address topics and themes of sustained interest to critical scholars. These include analyses of global political economy, the environment, and critical research on religion; new research and theory exploring the intersections between exploitation and oppression; and critical engagement among diverse currents of anti-capitalist thought.
The contemporary political moment is one characterized by intense turbulence and crisis, but also of intensifying possibility for those who seek to both interpret capitalist society as well as transform it.
The publication of the Studies in Critical Social Science book series aims to make a contribution to the project of critical scholarship and social transformation.
