The Journal of American Socialist Studies (JASS) is an annual interdisciplinary peer-reviewed publication of the Midwestern Marx Publishing Press. The Journal's first Issue was released in Summer, 2021.
The aim of our Journal is to highlight the rich and eclectic traditions of radicalism in the U.S. We reject the notion that the US can be reduced to genocide, enslavement, and imperialism. Instead, our project emphasizes the currents in our country which have, since its founding, fought against the exploitation, oppression, and expropriation done by the owning classes. The positive history of radical struggles in our country is often ignored or whitewashed, this is something the Journal of American Socialist Studies hopes to change.
