Database of Latino Book Presses in the U.S.

In an effort to promote and expose contemporary Latin American literature, it is important to recognize the book presses that focus on publishing Latino literature. The following is an ongoing list that will function as a growing database of Latino book presses in the U.S. We ask the general public to help Latino Book Review continue building this database by providing the names of Latino presses that should be included on the comment section below. In order to include a book press, we will consider the following criteria: 1) The press must be Latino focused or have a high number of Latino authors, 2) Must be currently active, 3) Must have a website, 4) Must have a minimum of at least 5 books published and 5) not be a vanity press.

THE BIRTH OF A UNIVERSE: THE MAYA SCIENCE OF PREGNANCY
Everything contains life. Everything is interconnected, stars, plants, and people. So begins The Birth of a Universe, a profound exegesis by Apabyan Tew, a K’iche Maya midwife and daykeeper. Apabyan Tew explores the 260-day Maya calendar just as we are bound to the planets that gave birth to that divinatory calendar, our conception, growth, and destiny guided bynawales, the spirits of the days. The Birth of a Universe is a unique book that represents a vision of the world rarely presented by a Maya author.
