Haymarket Books is a non-profit, radical, independent book publisher based in Chicago .[3]

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, 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, an incident that began with police killing four striking workers and injuring many more, culminating in a show of working-class solidarity the next day where workers gathered to protest the police brutality against striking workers. A bomb was thrown into the crowd, injuring 6-7 police; in response, police open-fired into the crowd killing and injuring masses of civilians as well as police.

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]
