PRESS HISTORY AND MISSION STATEMENT
Mission Statement
Making common cause with the best and the brightest, the great and the good, NYU Press aspires to nothing less than the transformation of the intellectual and cultural landscape. Infused with the conviction that the ideas of the academy matter, we foster knowledge that resonates within and beyond the walls of the university.
If the university is the public square for intellectual debate, NYU Press is its soapbox, offering original thinkers a forum for the written word. Our authors think, teach, and contend; NYU Press crafts, publishes and disseminates. Step up, hold forth, and we will champion your books to readers everywhere.
About NYU Press
New York University Press is a publisher primarily of academic books and is a department of the New York University Division of Libraries. NYU Press publishes in the humanities and social sciences, with emphasis on sociology, law, cultural and American studies, religion, American history, anthropology, politics, criminology, media and film, and psychology. The Press also publishes books on New York regional history, politics, and culture.
NYU Press publishes approximately 100 new books each year, with a backlist of nearly 2,000 books in print; the Press also distributes the books of Fordham University Press and the Monthly Review Press. The NYU Press office is located one block south of Union Square in Manhattan.
NYU Press has been a member of the Association of American University Presses (AAUP) since 1937.
