  Third World Press

Haki R. Madhubuti founded Third World Press Foundation, the oldest independent publisher of Black thought and literature in the country, in 1967. For more than 50 years, Third World Press has brought the reading public books that encourage creativity, inspire intellect, engender pride and spur engaged and informed critical debate over issues of race, culture, politics, and social health.  Their promise and claim has been that they are not to let the few precious, motionless moments pass them without reading for their knowledge, interest, or entertainment.

The tittles that TWP publish are indeed indicative of their pledge and steadfast goal to remain committed to giving insightful, progressive works by and about people of the African Diaspora a platform.  The titles below are just a small sample of the work they have published over the years.
