Peepal Tree Press is the home of the best in Caribbean and Black British fiction, poetry, literary criticism, memoirs and historical studies. Based in Leeds, Peepal Tree is a wholly independent company, founded in 1985, and now publishing around 30-40 books a year. The list features both new writers and established voices. In 2009 Peepal Tree launched the Caribbean Modern Classics Series, which restores to print essential classic books from the 1950s and 60s. Peepal Tree's focus is on what George Lamming calls the Caribbean nation, wherever it is in the world, though they are also concerned with Black British writing.
