Non-Fiction

At Fordham University Press (FUP), we believe literacy transcends mere reading and writing—it is a gateway to lifelong learning, critical thinking, and community engagement. In celebration of University Press Week and its #StepUP theme, we’re proud to highlight how FUP is promoting literacy through initiatives and partnerships that enrich the lives of New Yorkers by connecting authors with readers.

We are excited to announce that Flesh and Spirit: Confessions of a Young Lord by Felipe Luciano is a winner of the Forty-Fifth Annual American Book Awards given by The Before Columbus Foundation.
