        Adaiyaalam means identity. 1998 was a time when secular India was slowly moving towards religiosity. Adaiyaalam was founded with the support of like-minded friends to publish the voices of people who were oppressed culturally and politically, Not-for-profit. We aim to bring out the works of marginalised people like Dalits, minorities, women, children, tribals, villagers and other unrepresented people. We continue our journey embracing a diverse range of work in literature, non-fiction, philosophy, politics, and new genres of storytelling. We are proud to say that till today, we have published more than five hundred titles. Adaiyaalam has managed to bring more than a hundred translated works into Tamil language collaborating with 54 international publishing houses.  Adaiyaalam plays an important role in social change. We live in an era where most of the publishing world is only focused on making profits the priority. We at adaiyaalam encourage originality and alternative narratives.  Join our journey.

        Heal The Hood

        by Adaeze Nwosu

        Hatima Parker is an African-American teenage girl living on the mean streets of South Central Los Angeles. Life in the hood is always tough, but life produces more obstacles when an African-American man named Rodney King is beaten by the LAPD and an African-American teenage girl named Latasha Harlins is murdered by a Korean woman. Hatima dreams of becoming a Marine and an Africanist, and her goals cause her to question her world. She’s not sure if she wants to pursue a career with the US Armed Forces, as that could easily lead to a career in law enforcement. She also finds herself connecting the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, Marcus Garvey, Frederick Douglass, Nelson Mandela, and other black leaders to the incidents of racism she witnesses in her world in order to see if their many ways to change the status quo were effective and still are. Hatima also starts a relationship with a Korean teenage boy named Joshua Yang. However, since racial tensions are high between African Americans and Korean Americans, there are many people against the biracial couple being together. Hatima learns the world is far from perfect, and throughout 1991 and 1992, she learns how to take a stand against a world that often chooses hatred over love.
