TIMELY BOOKS FOR CHANGING TIMES
Just World Books was founded in 2010 by Helena Cobban, a social activist, veteran writer and researcher on world affairs, and member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Her goal in founding the company was to expand the range of the discourse in the United States and worldwide on vital international issues.
The first titles that JWB published were in the field of diplomacy and public policy, focusing on the Middle East. In 2012, we added a new, more “cultural” dimension to our list with a memoir by Israeli-American peace activist Miko Peled: The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine. In 2013, we published the award-winning cookbook The Gaza Kitchen: A Palestinian Culinary Journey, by Laila El-Haddad and Maggie Schmitt, and then Susan Abulhawa’s poetry collection, My Voice Sought the Wind.
Just World Books is delighted that Gaza Writes Back now further strengthens our cultural presence. Later in 2014, we’ll be publishing a graphic-form memoir by the young Palestinian-American artist Leila Abdul Razzaq. Our publishing of timely, policy-related titles also continues.
