About Between the Lines

BTL publishes non-fiction books that expose and challenge oppression in our society. They aim to amplify the struggles of Black, Indigenous, and radicalized communities; migrants; women; and working-class people.

BTL is proudly left wing and the books they publish reflect their activist roots and commitment to social justice struggles. BTL authors are academics, journalists, artists, and activists—all our authors hope their books will spark political and social change.
