Historical Materialism tribute to Neil Davidson (1957-2020)

At Historical Materialism, we are very devastated by the loss to our movement of Neil Davidson, who was a source of unflinching support to the journal, book series and conferences. We will be publishing two books by him in the book series, and we strongly encourage you to purchase his works that are available from Haymarket Books https://www.haymarketbooks.org/authors/86-neil-davidson and from Pluto Press https://www.plutobooks.com/author/neil-davidson/

In honour of Neil, a special page on the Brill website with a number of his articles free to download:
