"I have been reading and quoting Alternate Routes for 40 years. Each issue gives me new reasons to do so. It continues to provide sophisticated, progressive, accessible analysis, located in specific, historical contexts. Especially in these times of enormous risks to us all, we need this kind of analysis and evidence in the struggle for our health, our opportunities for democratic participation, and for meaningful work." Pat Armstrong, Distinguished Research Professor at York University.
"In our moment of overlapping crises—deeply entrenched inequities, a global pandemic, intensifying climate instability, and the looming threat of austerity—we need incisive progressive analysis more than ever. And this is precisely what Alternate Routes delivers, all while offering pathways to building the equitable, sustainable future we need.” Angela Carter, Associate Professor, Political Science, and author of Fossilized: Environmental Policy in Canada's Petro-Provinces, recipient of the 2021 Donald Smiley Prize.
"In an era in which ‘progressive neoliberalism’ has frayed, reactionary populism is on the rise and climate breakdown is visibly accelerating, activists and activist-scholars need the insightful and penetrating analyses that Alternate Routes provides" – if we are to understand and change our troubled world." - William K. Carroll, Professor of Sociology, University of Victoria, and author (with J.P. Sapinsky) of Organizing the 1%: How Corporate Power Works
"One of the first and longest-lasting responses to the stifling effects of traditional academic journal publication practices in the social sciences." – Research Resources for the Social Sciences
