About the Company: The most respected and storied African-American imprint in publishing, Amistad was founded in 1986 to specialize in the works of authors who honor and consecrate the memory of those who fought—and continue to fight—for freedom. Now publishing titles such as Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson; Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey; Open Season by Ben Crump; and Barracoon by Zora Neale Hurston, Amistad’s original publishing program included works by tennis legend and activist Arthur Ashe, tastemaker Susan L. Taylor, and literary gatekeeper Henry Louis Gates Jr.


Amistad aims to educate, entertain, and empower readers interested in the past, present, and future of Black people throughout the diaspora. Through the exemplary work of extraordinary authors, Amistad publishes stories that have seldom been told, expanding historical narratives in new and surprising ways, while driving conversations that provide solutions and direction for people in their everyday lives.
