About One World

one-worldIn 1991, Ballantine launched One World and became the first mainstream publisher to create an imprint devoted to multi-cultural titles. Its list encompasses subjects of African-American, Asian, Latin, and Native American interest across all categories and formats. Its bestselling backlist titles include THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X as told to Alex Haley and DREAMING IN CUBAN by Cristina Garcia. Current and forthcoming authors include the bestselling novelist Pearl Cleage, the black film historian Donald Bogle, and one of the rising stars of “street lit,” Nikki Turner. Strivers Row, founded in 2001 to showcase African-American fiction, was named after the street in Harlem which was largely inhabited by first-generation African American professionals during the time of the Harlem Renaissance. Its authors include Parry “Ebony Satin” Brown, Tajuana Butler, Travis Hunter, and Nichelle Tramble.
