8 Unconventional Beach Reads to Add to Your Summer Reading List

In our opinion, there is no better day than one spent out in the sun with the company of a good book. While most people lean on romance, mystery, or thriller to pass the time, we at The New Press prefer cutting-edge, social justice-oriented nonfiction. 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. 

Ideas Can't Be Banned: Reading Lists That Name the Issues

For more than thirty years, The New Press has been a leading publisher of diverse narratives and books that provide cutting-edge analyses and critical perspectives. As a not-for-profit, public interest publisher, it has been our mission to provide books on topics and by authors traditionally ignored by mainstream publishers—books that facilitate social change, enrich public discourse, and defend democratic values, including from historically disenfranchised voices and on underrepresented subjects such as race, economic inequality, LGBTQ+ communities, criminal justice, and environmental reform.
