Excited—& a bit nervous—to have this essay in the world. It started as an MLA talk—which I described at the time as the political unconscious of the usual How To Publish Your Book fare—& became much more thanks to the wonderful team at Public Books. Solidarity! www.publicbooks.org/publishers-a...
Universities have disinvested from their presses just as much as their humanities departments and libraries. Will working together stop it?
So good. And definitely a necessary part of the larger labor (and commodification of labor to serve the upper-echelon few in our capitalist ranks) conversation, I think.
Thank you so much for writing this, Rebecca.
Oh! It’s that talk! I hadn’t put two and two together!
this is so great!
This is wonderful.
Congratulations!!! Wahoo!
This is so good, Rebecca! Thank you for everything you do 🙏
I’m chair of the editorial board of our faculty press - sent it to the rest of the board
What clarity. I really hope a lot of people in our “world” read this.
