Amistad, a division of HarperCollins in the HarperOne group, is the oldest imprint devoted to books by and about Black people throughout the diaspora.

The most respected and storied African-American imprint in publishing, Amistad was founded in 1986 to specialize in the works of authors who honor and consecrate the memory of those who fought—and continue to fight—for freedom. Now publishing titles such as Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson; Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey; Open Season by Ben Crump; and Barracoon by Zora Nea

le Hurston, Amistad’s original publishing program included works by tennis legend and activist Arthur Ashe, tastemaker Susan L. Taylor, and literary gatekeeper Henry Louis Gates Jr. Amistad aims to educate, entertain, and empower readers interested in the past, present, and future of Black people throughout the diaspora. Through the exemplary work of extraordinary authors, Amistad publishes stories that have seldom been told, expanding historical narratives in new and surprising ways, while driving conversations that provide solutions and direction for people in their everyday lives.

“Fascinating debut… Kalli writes with urgency and grace, grounding their wide-ranging musings with a tender image that bookends the narrative: the author resting a hand on a horse’s shoulder. Slim but potent, this packs a punch.” — Publishers Weekly

"At turns funny and poignant…Kalli’s contribution brings a new voice to the table, one that is smart, well articulated, and bighearted."
— Kirkus Reviews

“Essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of race, gender, queerness, and the ongoing quest for freedom.” — Booklist
