Haymarket Books was founded in 2001, and named in memory of the "Haymarket Martyrs" - five anarchist labor activists given the death penalty after the Haymarket Riot and now generally believed to have been innocent.
Haymarket publishes nonfiction from a left-wing or socialist perspective, with subjects focusing primarily on history and politics. It publishes both original work and out-of-print "classics." In addition to books, it publishes a magazine, International Socialist Review, audio tapes, and political buttons.
