Social Science Press publishes books, as the name suggests, in the social sciences, and has now acquired a good list in academic trade books. Some literary works, for instance, have been brought within the framework of the social sciences. Besides literature, it draws on subjects such as sociology, social anthropology, environment studies, economics, politics, history and gender.

The Press is very proud of its authors who are drawn from the best centres of learning all over the world. It takes special pride in being the first publishers of young future world class scholars.

The list has an internal coherence. The focus is on disseminating knowledge and to this end, the Press publishes books on important subjects, which are written lucidly in order to make them accessible to a large reading public. The books lend clarity and cogency to the confusions of everyday life, which in turn, bring in some modest way, a better understanding of one’s social and political world.

Books published by Social Science Press are examined by experts before accepting them for publication. Production quality is closely supervised and made competitive with international standards.
