What We Do
Beacon Press is an independent, mission-driven, nonprofit publisher founded in 1854 in Boston.
Beacon has published many ground-breaking classics, including James Baldwin’s Notes of a Native Son, Herbert Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man, Jean Baker Miller’s Toward a New Psychology of Women, and Mary Daly’s Gyn/Ecology.
In 1971, Beacon printed the Senator Gravel Edition of The Pentagon Papers in 5 volumes. This groundbreaking achievement marked the first time those papers had appeared in book form.
Beacon is also the publisher of Marian Wright Edelman’s best-selling book, The Measure of Our Success: A Letter to My Children and Yours, and Cornel West’s acclaimed Race Matters.
Recent publications include such widely acclaimed and best-selling books as James Baldwin’s Notes of a Native Son, Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz’s An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Judith Heumann’s Being Heumann, Christopher Emdin’s For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood . . . and the Rest of Y’all Too, and Gayl Jones’s Pulitzer-Prize finalist, Palmares.
Our books often change the way readers think about fundamental issues; they promote such values as freedom of speech and thought; diversity, religious pluralism, and anti-racism; and respect for diversity in all areas of life.
