Mission: Curbstone Press is a nonprofit literary organization dedicated to promoting creative literature that encourages respect for human rights and intercultural understanding. Curbstone builds bridges between its writers and the reading public, from children to adults, a public increasingly eager to learn about the cultures these writers represent. Curbstone develops programs to provide author workshops/discussions and books to under funded schools and community organizations.
As Eduardo Galeano aptly says: "To claim that literature on its own is going to change reality would be an act of madness or arrogance. It seems to me no less foolish to deny that it can aid in making this change."
