20 Must-Read Books From University Presses

"Unlike the big commercial publishers, most university presses aren't driven by profit. This means that they publish a lot of wonderful books that are deemed "unsellable" by traditional presses. And while the whole notion of what sells and what doesn't is infuriating, that's a different post. The point is that university presses publish a lot of exciting books every year, often by authors from marginalized communities. If you're looking for innovative novels, eye-opening histories, regionally specific anthologies, works in translation, and stories told from perspectives that are sometimes ignored by mainstream publishing, then university presses are your friend"
