Please join us for the second North American Historical Materialism
Conference, beginning the evening of January 14th, 2010. Founded in
1997, the quarterly Historical Materialism (HM) journal is among the
foremost publications of critical Marxist theory in the world, known for
both its breadth as well as its intellectual rigor. Following upon
successful conferences in London and Toronto, the New York City
conference the first ever in the US will provide a lively space for
scholars and activists to critically engage theoretical, historical, and
practical issues of crucial importance to the movement for a world
beyond capitalism.
The ongoing economic crisis continues to disrupt political and business
establishments across the planet and inflict suffering upon millions in
the form of mass unemployment and food shortages. Despite the popular
expectations raised by a new presidency, U.S. imperial ambitions appear
locked in place. The existential threat of climate change looms.
Economic, political, military and ecological crises intersect as they
intensify, making the world a much more dangerous place but also one in
which the space for theory and practice aimed at challenging capitalism,
and exploring systemic alternatives, has grown.
In organizing the first US Historical Materialism conference we hope to
open a space for critical, rigorous and boundary-pushing theory, to
explore and provoke our understanding of capital and anti-capitalist
alternatives with a critical eye to the traditions of the past, while
confronting the crises and struggles unfolding around us.
