May 2005

Historical Materialism seeks reviewers for the following books in German. Reviews should be submitted in English. Our policy is to publish substantial review articles, usually ranging between 3,000 and 6,000 words, and it is important that books should be discussed in terms of their relevance to Marxist theory. The Guidelines document for HM reviewers will be sent on request.
