For more information please visit brill.nl/hm 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 peerreviewed Historical Materialism Book Series addresses this great gap with original monographs, translated texts and reprints of classics.

Historical Materialism Book Series, 34 The proceedings of the last Comintern congress in which Lenin participated, now at last available in English, reveals a Communist world movement grappling to reconcile the goal of unifying workers and colonial people in struggle with that of pressing forward to socialist revolution. The principle of national parties autonomy strains against calls for more stringent centralisation. Debates range over the birth of Fascism, decay of the Versailles Treaty system, the rise of colonial revolution, and womens emancipation. Newly translated and richly annotated, the stenographic transcript of the month-long congress discloses a rich spectrum of viewpoints among delegates. Indispensable source material on early Communism is supplemented by an analytic introduction, detailed footnotes, more than 500 short biographies, glossary, chronology, and index. November 2011 ISBN 978 90 04 20156 9 Hardback (approx. 896 pp.) List price EUR 149.- / US$ 212. Historical Materialism Book Series, 33 The theory of imperialism is usually associated with some of the big names in the history of European Marxism, such as Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, Rudolf Hilferding and Nikolai Bukharin, alongside whom the English Progressive John Hobson is usually mentioned. However, little is known about the development of Marxist theory on this subject besides the books of these figures. This volume assembles for the first time the main documents of the international debate on imperialism that took place in the Second International during the period 18981916. It assesses the contributions of the individual participants to the developing theory of imperialism, placing them in the context of contemporary political debates.

Behind the Crisis

December 2011 ISBN 978 90 04 20107 1 Hardback (approx. 272 pp.) List price EUR 99.- / US$ 136. Historical Materialism Book Series, 32 The turmoil of 2007-2009 is a crisis of financialised capitalism, and for this reason it is systemic and unusual. The crisis commenced in the sphere of finance, spread to production, and then became a world recession. Its unusual character is apparent since never before has a global economic crisis been triggered by banks lending to workers to buy houses. Moreover, state intervention to forestall the crisis becoming a major depression has been unprecedented. This book brings together several well-known political economists to analyse the domestic and international aspects of financialisation, thus putting the crisis in its appropriate context. It draws on Marxist and other heterodox economics to cast light on the broader implications of financialisation and crisis for society.

July 2011 ISBN 978 90 04 20157 6 Hardback (xii, 296 pp.) List price EUR 99.- / US$ 136. Historical Materialism Book Series, 30 Monsters of the Market investigates the rise of capitalism through the prism of the body-panics it arouses. Drawing on folklore, literature and popular culture, the book links tales of monstrosity from early-modern England, including Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, to a spate of recent vampire- and zombiefables from sub-Saharan Africa, and it connects these to Marxs persistent use of monster-metaphors in his descriptions of capitalism. Reading across these tales of the grotesque, Monsters of the Market offers a novel account of the cultural and corporeal economy of a global market-system. The book thus makes original contributions to political economy, cultural theory, commodification-studies and body-theory.

September 2011 ISBN 978 90 04 20155 2 Hardback (xxiii, 376 pp.) List price EUR 99.- / US$ 136. Historical Materialism Book Series, 29 Bolivia witnessed a left-indigenous insurrectionary cycle between 2000 and 2005 that overthrew two neoliberal presidents and laid the foundation for Evo Morales successful bid to become the countrys first indigenous head of state in 2006. Building on the theoretical traditions of revolutionary Marxism and indigenous liberation, this book provides an analytical framework for understanding the fine-grained sociological and political nuances of twenty-first century Bolivian class-struggle, state-repression, and indigenous resistance, as well the deeply historical roots of todays oppositional traditions. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, including more than 80 in-depth interviews with social-movement and trade-union activists, Red October is a ground-breaking intervention in the study of contemporary Bolivia and the wider Latin American turn to the left over the last decade.

Historical Materialism Book Series, 31 Paul Levi remains one of the most interesting and controversial figures in the early history of the Communist movement. As leader of the KPD after the murder of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, he successfully built up a party of a third of a million members, but by 1921 Comintern pressure for Bolshevisation forced Levis resignation and expulsion. Until his early death in 1930 he remained a revolutionary socialist of the Rosa Luxemburg school (Carl von Ossietsky), and was described by Albert Einstein as one of the wisest, most just and courageous persons I have come across. The first English edition of Levis writings fills a long-standing gap in the documents of German Communism. 2012: Volume 20 (in 4 issues) ISSN 1465-4466 / E-ISSN 1569-206X Institutional subscription rates Electronic only: EUR 325.- / US$ 455.Print only: EUR 358.- / US$ 501.Electronic + Print: EUR 390.- / US$ 456.

Historical Materialism Book Series, 28 Most US historians assume that capitalism either came in the first ships or was the inevitable result of the expansion of the market. Unable to analyze the dynamics of specific forms of social labour in the antebellum US, most historians of the US Civil War have privileged autonomous political and ideological factors, ignoring the deep social roots of the conflict. This book applies theoretical insights derived from the debates on the transition to capitalism in Europe to the historical literature on the US to produce a new analysis of the origins of capitalism in the US, and the social roots of the Civil War.
