Founded in 2000,
Nation Books
has become a leading voice in American independent publishing. The inspiration for the imprint came from the
Nation
magazine, the oldest independent and continuously published weekly magazine of politics and culture in the United States.
The imprint’s mission is to produce authoritative books that break new ground and shed light on current social and political issues. We publish established authors who are leaders in their area of expertise, and endeavor to cultivate a new generation of emerging and talented writers. With each of our books we aim to positively affect cultural and political discourse.
