MalikVerlag

MalikVerlag is a German publishing house based in Freiburg im Breisgau. The company was founded in 1921 by Adolf Malik, a German ethnologist and writer. Initially, the publishing house focused on publishing works related to ethnology, anthropology, and sociology, often with a focus on non-European cultures.

During the 1920s and 1930s, MalikVerlag became known for publishing avant-garde and provocative works by writers such as Adolf Hitler, which was later considered to be documents of modern propaganda. However, after World War II, the company suffered significant criticism for having printed such radical and extremist literature.

In the post-war period, MalikVerlag transitioned to publishing more academic and scholarly works. They focused on publishing titles covering a wide range of subjects, including various languages, anthropology, and history. Some of their notable publications include the German-Italian dictionary and the monograph on beliefs and cultures of non-European people.

MalikVerlag has been known for its significant academic contributions to the field of anthropology, ethnology, and sociology. However, the legacy of MalikVerlag remains a subject of controversy and revisionism. The company's initial focus on publishing extremist literature has marred its reputation in the eyes of some, although this is significantly overshadowed by its later contributions to intellectual and scholarly pursuits. Today, MalikVerlag remains an active publisher, releasing new titles in the fields of anthropology, sociology, and related disciplines.
