third world press by angela brown
haki r. madhubuti founded third world press foundation, the oldest independent publisher of black thought and literature in the country, in 1967. for more than 50 years, third world press has brought the reading public books that encourage creativity, inspire intellect, engender pride and spur engaged and informed critical debate over issues of race, culture, politics, and social health. their promise and claim has been that they are not to let the few precious, motionless moments p-ss them without reading for their knowledge, interest, or entertainment
originally named don l. lee, madhubuti was born in poverty in little rock, ark., and grew up in detroit and chicago before rising to literary prominence as a poet and key figure in the 1960s black power movement. later, he was also a prominent figure in the chicago wing of the black arts movement, an african-american–driven political and cultural movement that emerged around such figures as malcolm x and poet-activist amiri baraka
madhubuti is an acclaimed literary figure who has published more than 30 books, beginning with his works of poetry think black (1967), don’t cry, scream (1969, originally published by broadside press but now in the twpf catalogue), and we walk the way of the new world (1970). he has also published a long list of literary criticism and social and political -n-lysis at twpf, and his books are among the house’s bestsellers. his 1990 work black men: obsolete, single, dangerous? the afrikan american family in transition has more than a million copies in print and is twpf’s all-time biggest seller. don’t cry, scream, he said, has sold more than 75,000 copies over the years
madhubuti singles out poets gwendolyn brooks and dudley randall as the biggest influences on him personally and on the founding of twpf. he says brooks, whom he met in the 1960s and whose books he later published, had “the greatest influence on me.” and he credits randall, a pioneering black poet and independent black publisher, for the original third world press business model—basing a small press venture in your own home. randall was publisher of broadside press, an influential small press that published many of the most acclaimed black poets of the 1960s, among them brooks, audre lorde, sonia sanchez, and eventually madhubuti. madhubuti said that after visiting randall in 1966 at his home in detroit, where broadside press was based, he discovered the model for third world press. “i came back to my chicago bas-m-nt apartment, and that’s when and how i started,” madhubuti said
