Haymarket was cited by Publishers Weekly on their list of fast-growing independent publishers in 2017[4] and 2018.[5]
Notable Haymarket authors include Michael Bennett, Noam Chomsky, Angela Davis, Eve Ewing, Naomi Klein,[6] Arundhati Roy, Rebecca Solnit, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Howard Zinn, and Dave Zirin.
The name of the publishing house is a reference to the 1886 Haymarket affair, in which an explosion and ensuing gunfire at a labor demonstration in Chicago resulted in the deaths of seven police officers and at least four civilians. Eight anarchists uninvolved in the bombing were subsequently convicted of conspiracy, of whom seven were sentenced to death.
Haymarket is known for publishing "provocative books from the left end of the political spectrum."[7] Founding editors Anthony Arnove and Julie Fain previously worked on the International Socialist Review.[7]
