About Améfrica Press

Améfrica Press is a transnational small press dedicated to advancing Afro-diasporic scholarship, literature, and poetry across the Americas and the Global South.

We foreground translation as an ethical and scholarly practice that bridges languages, geographies, and intellectual traditions.

By curating a multilingual catalog that centers historically marginalized voices, we amplify cultural and critical contributions to global conversations in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts.

Our editorial approach emphasizes:

  • Rigorous peer engagement with scholars, translators, and artists

  • Reflective frameworks rooted in ancestral knowledge and community memory

  • Collaborative publishing practices informed by hemispheric Black, Afro-Indigenous and Indigenous epistemologies

Améfrica Press supports authors whose work reimagines belonging, embodiment, memory, and place. Our mission is to cultivate multilingual archives that challenge conventional boundaries between literature, theory, and lived experience.
