Dear Friends of New Village Press,
This holiday season we want to show our appreciation. Your support for our press this year made it possible to publish books that bring understanding to a troubled world: Ann Snitow's Visitors, Nasser Rahmaninejad's A Man of the Theater, Mindy Fullilove’s Main Street, and Margaret Randall’s My Life in 100 Objects.
Your contributions also gave us the confidence, during a difficult time, to make a commitment to the authors of a dozen forthcoming books. Among these will be the first volume of an eloquent series by artist Robert Shetterly—Portraits in Racial Justice: Americans Who Tell the Truth—and a book about scholars defending worker and community rights against corporate agribusiness—In the Struggle.
As an informed reader, you know New Village Press books have the power to enrich public discussion about inclusive, just, and healthy communities. That is why we hope you will consider donating to our Giving Tuesday campaign.
It's off to a great start, thanks to a generous seed donation of $5000 from Jane McGroarty and a matching donation from a wonderful anonymous couple. Won't you please join in?

The Meaningful Gift of Great Reads |
|
|
|
In her most recent memoir, Margaret Randall uses photographs, poetry, and prose to take readers across the globe and share the experiences that shaped her remarkable life as a publisher, activist, and writer.
"Randall's hope was to show us 'how the objects and places that move us breathe their life into ours.' In this, she certainly succeeds. A heartwarming celebration of the author's compelling life."
—Kirkus Reviews
December 6 is Margaret Randall's birthday. Happy Birthday, Margaret!

Main Street – A City's Heart |
|
|
|
Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove traverses the central thoroughfares of our cities, uncovering the ways they bring us together and how disinvestment can pull communities apart.
"With the eye of a natural scientist, with the warm wit of a country practitioner on house calls, psychiatrist Mindy Fullilove prescribes the renaissance of Main Streets for the ills of industrial decline. You will not see your neighborhood, nor your neighbors, the same way after reading this book."
—Helena Hansen, Associate Professor, NYU Anthropology and Psychiatry Departments
