Lawrence and Wishart was founded in 1936 and we are proud to have emerged as one of the few remaining independent publishing houses in Britain. We started life through the merger of Martin Lawrence, the Communist Party's press, and Wishart Ltd, a family-owned liberal and anti-fascist publisher. For over 80 years, we have remained true to our founders' leftist political leanings, even as our offerings have evolved to follow intellectual trends, such as critical marxism in the 1970s and cultural studies in the 1980s. Since the 1990s L&W has established a strong reputation as a publisher of journals. We now publish a number of journals, all of which attempt to engage critically with contemporary political culture in a range of different ways.
