a design-forward scholarly + arts press
For the past decade, we’ve held a firm line: everything we produce should be freely accessible, without barrier or gate. It is our belief that revolutionary arts and education nourish robust, durable communities and that they should never be withheld for profit.
If our work matters to you, and if you are able, please consider supporting it. As a registered nonprofit [501(c)(3)] publishing studio, your donation helps us expand what’s possible: more publications, more art, better in-site digital access, and fully open audiobooks, built for anyone, anywhere.
about
Peace, Land, and Bread is a leading voice of contemporary communist scholarship; a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal produced by the international research center, The Center for Communist Studies, bridging the divide between academic and public scholarship.
The print journal is released quarterly, and all of our articles are always free online—we don't believe in paywalls. In our fourth issue, we've brought back our readers' favorite authors—Christian Noakes, Jackson Albert Mann, and Amal Samaha, to name but a few—and we've packed our 300+ pages with incredibly critical, poignant, and important works from scholars such as Thomas McLamb, Talia Lux, and Sam Glasper. Our arts and poetry section is more robust than ever, and contains beautiful works of art from Sindyan, Ian Matchett, M.S. Evans, and others.
