New Village Press is a not-for-profit book publisher founded in 2005 in the San Francisco Bay Area now based in New York, New York. It began as a national publishing project of Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility (ADPSR), an educational non-profit organization founded in 1981.[1]
New Village Press books address topics in the fields of social justice, urban ecology, community development and culture such as community arts, neighborhood commons, and participatory democracy.[2]
In 2006, New Village Press was selected as the "Best Small Publisher in the East Bay", by East Bay Express.[3] It partners with and is distributed by New York University Press.[4]
History
New Village Press originated as New Village Journal, a periodical published from 1999 until 2002, which focused on the revitalization of communities.[5] In 2018, New Village Press incorporated as its own nonprofit, separating from Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility.[6] New Village Press began a distribution partnership with NYU Press in 2018.[7] Originally based in Oakland, CA, New Village Press is now situated in New York, NY.
