Welcome to Duke University Press
Description edit
Duke University Press publishes approximately 100 books annually and more than 30 journals. This places the Press's books publishing program among the twenty largest at American university presses, and the journals publishing program among the five largest. The relative magnitude of the journals program within the Press is unique among American university presses: there is no other publisher of more than 15 journals that also publishes fewer than 175 books per year.
The Press publishes primarily in the humanities and social sciences and issues a few publications for primarily professional audiences (e.g., in law or medicine). It is best known for its publications in the broad and interdisciplinary area of theory and history of cultural production, and it is known in general as a publisher willing to take chances with nontraditional and interdisciplinary publications, both books and journals.
The Press's publications are purchased and read in three overlapping venues. First, they are purchased in bookstores by both academics and other educated and serious readers. Second, they are purchased and read in conjunction with university courses, as required or recommended texts at both the graduate and undergraduate (usually, advanced undergraduate) levels. Third, they are purchased and read in libraries, primarily academic libraries but also on occasion public libraries, corporate and government libraries, secondary school libraries, and other special libraries.
