In total, 20 new titles were published in 2016/17, of which ten were scholarly/academic books published under the
HSRC Press imprint and seven were trade academic books published under the Best Red imprint. The remaining output
included two new e-books and a new collection of works written by young and emerging scholars, arising from the
AYGS Conference and focusing on Agenda 2063 and the vision to eradicate poverty.
Nine of the ten new HSRC Press books were approved for publication by the independent HSRC Press editorial board,
following the gold-standard, double-blind peer review process.
One new book in the acclaimed
Voices of Liberation
series was published. A record seven new Best Red titles were
published, of which five were commissioned as original works.
Six of the seventeen new titles have a continent-wide lens and twelve of the new titles focus specifically on South Africa,
with restitution and justice emerging as strong themes.
The main theme driving the whole list, as in 2015/16, was inequality and poverty, with fifteen new books addressing
different aspects in directed ways related to this critical theme.
HSRC Press produced and printed seventeen
HSRC Policy Briefs
in the year under review.
Strategic partnerships across the list were with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), the National Institute
of Humanities and Social Sciences (NIHSS), Zed Books, AISA, the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation, and Cricket
South Africa.
