The New Press was established in 1990 as a not-for-profit alternative to the large, commercial publishing

houses currently dominating the book publishing industry. The New Press operates in the public interest

rather than for private gain, and is committed to publishing, in innovative ways, works of educational,

cultural, and community value that are often deemed insufficiently profitable.
