On December 1, 2015, UBC Press was delighted to announce the acquisition of the assets of Purich Publishing, which is now a new imprint of UBC Press. Founded by Don Purich and Karen Bolstad in 1992, Purich Publishing has been a leader of publishing on Aboriginal law, social justice, and Western Canadian issues. Purich books offer unique and important perspectives in identity and nationhood, youth and the law, Aboriginal health and education, and social justice. We believe this addition will push UBC Press to the forefront of this immensely important and intellectually vital publishing area.
