‘The world we thought we knew has been turned upside down, and no publishing list today answers our
perplexity, or relieves our anxiety, as effectively as Hurst’s. Its commitment to original, provocative
and rigorous thinking marks it out clearly in a field dominated by the safely formulaic.’
— Pankaj Mishra

‘At a time of rapid and dislocating change, no range of books casts a more valuable light onto
the convulsions of the present than those published by Hurst.’ — Tom Holland

Hurst is an independently owned and run non-fiction publisher, based in central London but publishing globally. We have a track record of nearly fifty years of distinguished scholarly publishing for a general readership. Today, we produce around 90 new books a year, building on our strengths in African Studies, Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies, South Asian Studies and War and International Relations. More broadly, however, we commission anything that interests us, from sport to art to cooking, as long as the books have something to distinguish them.
