Between the Lines (BTL) is an independent publisher in Canada.
BTL publishes Canadian-authored non-fiction, most of which offers a critical perspective on culture, economics, and society. The BTL catalogue also includes titles on politics, public policy, social issues, Canadian and world history, international development, native peoples, gender/sexuality, health, culture, adult and popular education, labour, environment, technology, and media.
Founded in 1977, BTL has published 218 titles, and maintains over 100 of these in print, including seminal works by American cultural theorists bell hooks and Noam Chomsky.
The press operates on the philosophy that books are more than just commodities; that they should somehow fit into political struggles. BTL function by consensus, with a division of labour, but no boss or individual owner.[1]
BTL is represented in the college and trade markets throughout Canada by Fernwood Publishing. In the United States, the press is represented and distributed by Southern California Book Distribution, and in the U.K., by Global Book Marketing. BTL has co-publishing arrangements with New Internationalist (UK), Pluto Press and South End.
