About Alert Press

Author Image

ALERT PRESS is an independent, not-for-profit, publisher of academic titles. Our primary focus is work produced by advanced student researchers and published as edited collections. The titles are available as print-on-demand only, for the time being. All books are sold for no more than the cost of production charged by the printer, and shipping and handling on the part of the printer. We also provide free ebook versions.

ALERT PRESS specializes in producing The New Imperialism series of volumes. The focus of the series concerns newly refashioned ideologies of empire, U.S. imperialism, soft power, military humanism, social and cultural militarization, and the recruitment of academics by the national security state.

Chapters by contributors are supervised in their development, from the first stages of conception, through subsequent drafts and review.

ALERT PRESS emerged from a specialized seminar led by Dr. Maximilian C. Forte in the Dept of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia U.
