Mike Davis and the Writing of Political Opposition

A celebration of the life of one of the most celebrated writers of the Left across the world. Mike Davis and the Writing of Political Opposition will serve both as a crucial introduction to new readers of Mike Davis and a key text to help those already familiar with his life and work deepen their understanding of his political and intellectual life. Taking readers from his time in California organizing with the Teamsters Union as a trucker, his solidarity activities with the Black Panthers to working as an editor at the New Left Review in London, this book brings Mike's incredible story to life.

Weaving stories of Mike's political formation seamlessly with his intellectual development, the book provides close examinations of his key texts, as well as his editorial legacy with Verso's Haymarket series.
