Books available * Titles premiering * Deep discounts & author signings

The Haymarket Books progressive book fair is an unrivaled assemblage of radical and progressive books. The book fair is part of the Socialism 2007 conference, which will bring together over 1500 activists from around the United States and the world with progressive publishers and authors.

As local bookshops and independent presses are replaced by chain bookstores and online megastores, our access to ideas that challenge the conventional wisdom of right-wing politicians and pundits diminishes. Yet today more than ever, we need ideas that offer an alternative vision -- against war and racism, highlighting the stories of struggles around the world. Haymarket Books believes that ideas are weapons for changing the world. The Haymarket Books progressive book fair exists to arm a new generation of activists with the ideas needed to struggle and win.

TITLES PREMIERING
Six important new books will make their premiere at the Haymarket fair.

Welcome to the Terrordome: The Pain, Politics, and Promise of Sports
By Dave Zirin, with a foreword by Chuck D
"Welcome to the Terrordome." Public Enemy's 1990 hip-hop anthem was a call to arms against a world—and a popular culture—gone mad. Today the "Terrordome" is a twenty-first century sports world that is frightening, ridiculous, horrifying, and inspiring…all before the next commercial break. From Don Imus' racist comments to the inspiring, yet mixed, legacy of Muhammad Ali; from the stormy marriage between hip-hop and the NBA to Zinedine Zidane's head butt— "America's best young sportswriter" will get you talking and thinking.
$16, ISBN 9781931859417

Between the Lines: Israel, the Palestinians, and the U.S. "War on Terror"
