Category: Political magazines

The International Socialist Review is the name of three socialist magazines/periodicals published in the United States. The focus of articles cover a broad range of approaches, from historical, to political, to economic, from a left-wing perspective. There have so far been three publications of this name, with little direct continuity.

• The first was a Charles H. Kerr publication from 1900 to 1918, which in later years supported the left-wing of the Socialist Party and the Industrial Workers of the World. It carried a range of articles from current events and literature, to issues of race and gender.
• The second ISR was published by the Socialist Workers Party from 1956 to 1975 in magazine format, and until the 1990s as a supplement to The Militant. It succeeded the magazine Fourth International.
• The current version has been published since 1998 in Chicago by the International Socialist Organization's Center for Economic Research and Social Change. It is currently a bimonthly magazine.

The modern incarnation of the ISR has articles about issues within the United States currently with the historical context such as racism, labor struggles, and evolution versus intelligent design debate. Articles about struggles outside the United States are covered as well, such as current Latin American anti-neoliberalism movements, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the role of China in the world economy.
