As we all know, social justice doesn’t take a vacation. This summer, take a look at eight of the current summer interns’ must-read books, a selection of New Press publications, and other thought-provoking, discussion-prompting publications from independent and academic presses.

Howard Zinn would have turned one hundred years old on August 24 this year. A lifelong activist and historian, Zinn took a famously democratic approach to telling the American story that centered the Black, Indigenous, and working-class experiences long overlooked by typical history books. Zinn’s work, critical but fair, unflinching yet hopeful, forever changed the way we look at the past. If you’re new to Zinn’s work, we’ve compiled a reading list to get you started.
