Boston Review

Boston Review is an award-winning magazine of ideas, politics, and culture, independent and nonprofit since 1975. Animated by hope and committed to equality, we believe in the power of collective reasoning and imagination to create a more just world. 

We publish leading writers, scholars, and activists on the most pressing political, intellectual, and cultural debates of our time. We take a special interest in speaking truth to power on matters of grave injustice—from war, human rights, and mass incarceration to poverty, inequality, and threats to democracy. Our pages include work by Noam Chomsky, Susan Sontag, Arundhati Roy, Nancy Fraser, Robin D. G. Kelley, bell hooks, Vivian Gornick, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders. 

By taking ideas seriously, we aim to promote the exercise of public reason, create a more egalitarian public sphere, and strengthen movements for justice. And since democracy depends on public discussion, we make everything we publish free to read online.
