List of Amistad Press books

This is a list of books published by Amistad Press, an imprint of HarperCollins acquired in late October 1999.[1][2] It is the oldest imprint devoted to the African-American market.[3] Charles F. Harris[2] started Amistad in the 1970s as a quarterly anthology of black writing at Random House, where he worked as a senior editor from 1967, and it "went through a number of collaborative publishing ventures with large publishers"[3] before being launched in 1986 as an independent imprint.[2] Harris joined HarperCollins as vice president of the imprint at the time of the 1999 merger.[4] Amistad does not aim for commercial fiction success. It leans toward narrative nonfiction. [5]

This list includes books to be published in 2015. Approximately 145 Amistad Press books are currently listed by the publisher as in print.[6]

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
