Academic Studies Press is an independent scholarly publisher with a robust Ukrainian Studies series, edited by Vitaly Chernetsky, that publishes award-winning works spanning poetry, fiction, memoirs, historical analysis, scholarly monographs, and translations of Ukrainian literature previously unavailable in English. Since 2022, we’ve also launched the Ukrainian-Language Open Access Series to support Ukrainian scholars working under conditions of war.
The Ukrainian Book Challenge is essential to our mission because it demonstrates that there is a dedicated readership ready to sustain the risks publishers take in bringing Ukrainian voices to English-speaking audiences. Each purchase supports the entire ecosystem—translators, authors, editors, and publishers—who work to preserve and amplify Ukrainian culture, ensuring that Ukrainian literature and scholarship remain in active circulation as an act of preservation and resistance.
