Paradigm was founded in 2003 by Dean Birkenkamp. Its authors included
Charles Tilly,
Noam Chomsky,
Henry Giroux,
Pete Seeger,
Kofi Annan,
Howard Zinn and many influential academic writers. In 2015, the company was sold to
Routledge, part of
Taylor & Francis. Since the acquisition, Paradigm's catalog and its mission to publish transformative, progressive works in the social sciences and humanities have been continued under the Routledge imprint. Routledge, being one of the world's leading academic publishers, has likely furthered the reach and impact of Paradigm's authors and their works through its global distribution network and digital platforms. ==References==
