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.
