Textbooks
Our U.S. office specializes in innovative and important college-level texts in education, media/communication, and black studies for individual scholars and for classroom use. Our presence in these three fields is well recognized by students, researchers, and the academic community. Every volume is peer reviewed and meets the highest quality standards for content and production.
While most of our titles are directed to individuals and classrooms at the upper-division undergraduate and graduate-level classroom levels, we also publish an extensive list of primers for first-year classes.
We are continually looking to develop the list and look forward to working with you on your next book project. Contact Christopher Myers, Managing Director, with education textbook proposals.
The list is broad in perspective, representing the established and evolving nature of the field. Titles are designed for classroom use, either as required or recommended reading, and we are actively looking to publish more texts suitable for introductory classes. At the same time we publish books at the cutting edge of research, addressing topical and important subject areas such as climate change and the global war on terror.
Many titles are now in the their third or fourth edition, and several have gone on to win prestigious book prizes including the Choice Outstanding Academic Title, Tankard Book Award, Lambda Literary Award, and various divisional awards of the NCA.
Contact Mary Savigar, Acquisitions Editor, with media & communication textbook proposals.
We welcome proposals from authors writing in our fields of interest. If you have a manuscript or concept that you wish to share with us, please use our submission form.
Desk copies can be ordered for course adoption consideration. We offer a 60-day review period for most Desk Copies. If the book is adopted at least five copies must be ordered for your class. If you choose not to adopt the book, you can either return it to us within 60 days, or purchase it for your own collection. To order a desk copy of any Lang textbook within the US please contact our Customer Service department. Outside the US select “Order a desk copy” on the individual book page.

Black Studies and Critical Thinking is an interdisciplinary series which examines the intellectual traditions of and cultural contributions made by people of African descent throughout the world. Whether it is in literature, art, music, science, or academics, these contributions are vast and far-reaching. As we work to stretch the boundaries of knowledge and understanding of issues critical to the Black experience, this series offers a unique opportunity to study the social, economic, and political forces that have shaped the historic experience of Black America, and that continue to determine our future. Black Studies and Critical Thinking is positioned at the forefront of research on the Black experience, and is the source for dynamic, innovative, and creative exploration of the most vital issues facing African Americans. The series invites contributions from all disciplines but is specially suited for cultural studies, anthropology, history, sociology, literature, art, and music.
