Description:

Areca Books has a publishing mission to produce social histories that dignify the culturally diverse peoples who make up our society. We also promote the writing of urban histories that give centrality to the places we love. Founded in 22nd Feb 2005, Areca Books is a niche publisher based in the George Town World Heritage Site, Penang, Malaysia. A number of our publications are pioneering works on social history, biographies, cultural heritage, architecture, the environment and visual arts. Our books are well-researched and richly illustrated, appealing to general readers as well as academic researchers of Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Areca Books is also committed to building a community of authors and contributors who care about history and places of cultural significance. We recognize the importance of social memory which draws from a diverse past to enrich our common future.
