The Howard Zinn Book Fair is an annual celebration of people’s history, past, present and future. We gather together authors, zinesters, bloggers and publishers for a day of readings, panel discussions and workshops exploring the value of dissident histories towards building a better future. In the spirit of the late historian Howard Zinn, the Book Fair recognizes the stories of the ways that everyday people have risen to propose a world beyond empires big and small. This is a non-sectarian left event that welcomes a wide variety of political traditions left traditions.

AK Press will be tabling (come say hi!), and several of our authors will be speaking about their recent releases—including Ben Dangl (The Five Hundred Year Rebellion), Kimberly Dark (Fat, Pretty, and Soon to Be Old), Shawna Potter (Making Spaces Safer), and Aishah Shahidah Simmons (editor of Love WITH Accountability)! See the bookfair website for the complete schedule.
