Founded by Haki R. Madhubuti (born in 1942 as Don L. Lee) with an honorarium of four hundred dollars received from a poetry reading, Third World Press has for forty years provided a platform for “progressive works by and about people of the African Diaspora.” Based in Chicago and one of the nation’s oldest independent publishers,
Third World Press includes titles in biography, cultural affairs, psychology, political science, and sociology.
