From 1973 to 1988, Race Today, the journal of the revolutionary
Race Today Collective was at the epicentre of the struggle for
racial justice in Britain. Placing race, sex and social class at
the core of its analysis, it featured in its articles and pamphlets
contributions from some of the leading writers and activists of the
time: C. L. R. James, Darcus Howe, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Toni
Morrison, Maya Angelou, Walter Rodney, Bobby Sands, Farrukh Dhondy
and Mala Sen and many more. Here to Stay, Here to Fight, draws
together many of these key articles and extracts into an impressive
collection - the first book-length anthology of its kind - rescuing
many contributions from the obscurity of inaccessible archives.
Framing the original contributions, there is a general
introduction, which provides an overview of Race Today's 15-year
history, section introductions providing context for each extract,
written by writers and activists associated with the Collective,
and a concluding section exploring the legacy of Race Today in
contemporary social movements and debates around race, gender and
class.

Documents from Modern Russia features uniquely contemporary
readings that help shape students' understanding of Russia's
history in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. While political and
foreign history are still covered, the readings focus on large
social and economic shifts, as well as the ways culture shapes and
moderates Russians' experiences of their world. Throughout,
readings are complemented by thoughtful annotations that provide
context and support greater student understanding. Each chapter
represents a multifaceted moment in time when cultural, political,
economic, and military events were all taking place simultaneously
and impacted each other. Beginning in 1855 and progressing
chronologically, the chapters cover: the great reforms, imperial
expansion, and tsarism under attack; autocracy and the Russian
empire; the disintegration of the imperial regime; the Russian
revolution and the making of Soviet Russia; Stalin's rise to power;
Soviet foreign policy; the USSR in the Great Patriotic War, the
Cold War, and reconstruction; the Brezhnev doctrine; the Soviet
collapse; and post-Soviet Russia. Featuring timely and accessible
content, Documents from Modern Russia is an ideal resource for
courses with focus in Russian history, politics, culture,
economics, and foreign policy.
