Book Series

After the disappearance of Marxism as a (supposed) state ideology, a need for a serious and long-term book publishing programme on Marxism was recognized. Most publishers of scholarly work have abandoned any of the systematic publication of critical research on Marxist theory that they may have indulged in during the 1970s and early 1980s. The peer-reviewed Historical Materialism Book Series addresses this great gap with original monographs, translated texts and reprints of ‘classics’.
