IIHA Introduces The Refuge Press
Dear Friends,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to The Refuge Press.
The Refuge Press is an independent imprint — founded in 2020 by Fordham University’s Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs (IIHA) and The Center for International Humanitarian Cooperation (CIHC) — with an emphasis on humanitarian and social justice issues. We publish at least four books per year, together with an equal number of art catalogues. Our books focus on humanitarian solutions, as well as personal and professional reflections on global crises. The art catalogues bring together the work that we are showing at our Refuge Gallery at the Institute headquarters at Fordham University in the Bronx, New York.
We are excited to share our recent publications with you and look forward to finding new voices and new volumes in the years ahead.
My warmest regards, as always,
Brendan Cahill
