Zed today
Zed Books is managed as a co-operative by its worker-directors, without any shareholders. It publishes around 50 books per year, providing many to the academic market, as well as university courses.
For over 30 years Zed has offered a range of titles focusing on alternative politics with the aim, it claims, of ‘giving voice to people, places, issues and ideas at the margins'.[1]
