We are proud to announce that we’ve added the University of Oklahoma Press to our distinguished list of academic and university publishers. Founded over 80 years ago, OU Press was the first university press established in the Southwest, and only the fourth established in the western half of the country!

Their current publishing program includes both scholarly works and a wide diversity of trade interest titles, from histories of The West, to indigenous peoples’ cultural histories, to business and governmental leaders, to current affairs, to photography and art.

To cite one example, we were excited to discover one of their lead titles from last fall’s season was Tulsa, 1921 – a landmark book of history and reporting about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. This book digs into contemporary reporting from local newspapers to provide readers more context about this shocking incident. The Tulsa massacre recently came to a much broader national awareness as the foundational centerpiece of the recent Watchmen series on HBO.
