Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Common Notions emerges from, and renews, a long line of writers and readers; editors and publishers; as well as independent bookstore buyers and bookstore lovers—who recognize the power of the printed word to inspire cultural shifts through the bold ideas of a new society emerging within the existing world. We at Common Notions recognize this moment as a time of tremendous change. There is hope and possibility, challenge and reward, opportunity and responsibility in the air—and with our community of authors and readers—we seek to steward a safer and more just world. We are intergenerational and international, diverse in our backgrounds and brazen in our shared belief that the common notions of our times bend toward freedom. We run our press collectively and practice the visionary, transformative democracy we seek in the world in our office and in all of our relations—with each other, our authors, and our readers. We are deeply committed to publishing books that provide timely reflections, clear critiques, and inspiring strategies that amplify movements for social justice. Our publishing program reflects the lessons we’ve learned as members of worker collectives, labor and tenants rights campaigns, higher ed struggles, #blacklivesmatter, no border and New Sanctuary movements, anticapitalist arts organizations, antiwar actions, climate justice camps, and the Palestinian solidarity movement. We are based in the Interference Archive in Brooklyn, NY; and at Making Worlds Bookstore and Social Center in Philadelphia. We often collaborate with editorial houses, political collectives, militant authors, and maverick designers around the world.
