About Boston Review
Boston Review is a nonpartisan magazine of ideas: animated by hope, committed to equality and reason, convinced that the imagination eludes political categories. We see each issue as a public space where people can loosen the hold of conventional preconceptions and bring this openness to bear on today's most pressing issues. Our mission requires that as editors we shun polemic and partisanship, uphold the highest standards of argument and evidence, value ambition and originality, seek widely diverse perspectives, and make complex ideas accessible. We have a national readership of men and women who are engaged in the challenge of today's world; who want deeper coverage of current affairs than the mainstream media offers; and who see the arts as an essential part of the human enterprise.
Founded in 1975, Boston Review has always been an independent, nonprofit institution with support from individual donors and grants.
