Other Books

Based in Calicut, Kerala, Other Books sells and publishes books that mainstream publishers and distributors don’t cater to. Started in 2003 by a collective of university students, academics, and social activists, Other Books pursues to widen contemporary discourses on subaltern studies, caste, gender, mysticism, Islam, and arts in India and elsewhere by distributing and publishing books in these rapidly evolving fields of humanities. As a publisher, our focus has been to bring out quality titles on South Indian history, particularly Mappila history and other areas where attention is quantitatively less. Caste, Gender, West-Asian Politics, and Islam are also areas that matter to us.
