Arbeiter Ring Publishing was founded as a workers’ collective in 1996 and began publishing a few left-of-centre and Marxist-leaning books each year. It is now Arbeiter Ring Publishing Ltd. (operating as ARP Books) and has grown into a respected book publisher offering a bold combination of eclectic and engaging writing.
Our mandate is to publish a dynamic combination of non-fiction, literary fiction, essay, poetry, and other writing that cannot be constrained by genre categories while encouraging innovative new writing.
We work to serve as an amplifier for some of the most exciting contemporary literary and academic writings on Indigenous issues, environmental issues, politics, social justice, activism, art, poetry, fiction, and importantly the ways that these subjects intersect.
Our authors are world-renowned academics, first-time novelists, community activists, artists, musicians, and established writers from all over Canada. The ARP Books catalogue represents authors, editors, and academics who are Indigenous, Black, racialized, LGBTQQ2S, Women, people living with disabilities, other marginalized groups, and the politically progressive.
Our books are critically acclaimed and beautifully made with an eye to the connection between the form (whether a paper book or an ebook) and its content.
We believe the written word can change the world, one reader at a time. We strive to publish books that challenge, assist, entertain, and provoke. Join us.
