Edizioni Alegre was founded in 2003, when Porto Alegre was the capital of the Social Forum movement and represented the hope of another possible world. The publisher's editorial motto is 'Sgonfiare le favole dei potenti e raccontare altre storie' (deflating the tales of the powerful and telling other stories). Its production includes series of current affairs, historical analysis, and Marxist and feminist theoretical reflection, alongside original fiction series: the Working class literature series directed by Alberto Prunetti, the Scritture resistenti series founded by Stefano Tassinari, and narrative hybrids with editorial consultancy by Wu Ming 1. The project of the magazine Jacobin Italia, sister of the US radical left magazine, is part of this path.
