Amongst the first hundred volumes are classic works by José Aricó, Pierre Broué, Paul Levi, Evgenii Preobrazhensky and Lise Vogel. Alongside them are important collections of historical documents, edited collections, and influential monographs from literally dozens of contemporary Marxist thinkers. The series encompasses works of revolutionary history, economic theory, political analysis, examinations of prominent figures in the Marxist tradition, philosophical works on time, Hegel, Spinoza, Gramsci and Althusser; studies of Marx’s method; outstanding historical work on modes of production and new writing on art. The HM series spans the range of approaches that have made up the complex history of critical Marxist politics and theory, from Second-International thinkers to Bolshevism through to contemporary work in every significant field of contemporary Marxist research. The series rejects narrow and sectarian traditions, engaging critical Marxism in its rich diversity and promoting fresh approaches. HM is particularly proud of our translation programme, which is making available to English readers the best Marxist work from around the world. This much-needed project is reinvigorating intellectual debate on the left. We have issued books originally published in eleven different countries, with more to come in the near future. HM books have been supported by many official grant bodies and universities, and on three occasions HM books have won the Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Prize. The HM book series intends to continue to play a central role in shaping intellectual discussion on the Left and we welcome submissions from anyone working in the Marxist tradition.
