The publications of Addleton Academic Publishers are books and other materials that further scholarly investigation, advance interdisciplinary inquiry, stimulate public debate, educate both within and outside the classroom, and enhance cultural life.

In its commitment to increasing the range and vigor of intellectual pursuits, Addleton AP continually extends its horizons to embody university publishing at its best. We are now focused on a future in which large-scale electronic delivery will augment or possibly replace today's paper delivery where appropriate. Through its publishing programs, Addleton AP promotes research and education, enriches cultural and intellectual life, fosters regional pride and accomplishments, and diligently pursues the best and most innovative technology to meet the needs of our readers.

Addleton AP publishes academic books and journals of high quality on a wide range of subjects primarily in the humanities and social sciences and issues a few publications for primarily professional audiences. It is best known for its publications in the broad and interdisciplinary area of theory and history of cultural production, and as a publisher willing to take chances with nontraditional and interdisciplinary publications, both books and journals. The titles we publish are subject to peer review, which guarantees their relevance. As an academic press, our mandate is to serve the world of scholarship and culture as a professional, not-for-profit publisher. Intent on delivering high-quality research into the hands of students and faculty in a timely manner, Addleton AP has succeeded in attracting first-rate authors.

The Addleton Dialogues project (coordinated by Professor Michael A. Peters – University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is a series of topical meetings to engage a range of scholars in discussion on key topics.
