The Portuguese Bookshop was founded in 1986, to coincide with the installation in Paris of Michel Chandeigne’s printing office. In 1992, he teamed up with Anne Lima to found the Chandeigne publishing house, which got off to a flying start with the publication of La frontière, by Pascal Quignard and the first work in the now prestigious “Magellane” collection: Histoires tragico-maritimes, three accounts of Portuguese shipwrecks in the 16th century. The firm has remained faithful to the artisanal vocation of its beginnings: while the office has been upgraded with state-of-the-art composition tools, all the publishing work in the broadest sense of the word is handled and controlled by Anne Lima and Michel Chandeigne, with a demanding vision of printing quality hailed by both the press and the general public. Five to eight works are thus published each year in the various collections (“Magellane”, “Lusitane”, “Péninsules”, and “Grands Formats”).

Chandeigne est le nom de Michel (Chandeigne), en toute humilité.

For 30 years, André Schiffrin headed one of the most prestigious US publishing houses, Pantheon Books, publishing works by Foucault, Sartre, Chomsky, Medvedev etc. Since 1991, he managed The New Press, an independent publishing house. Founded in 1990 as a major alternative to the large, commercial publishers, The New Press is a not-for-profit publishing house operated editorially in the public interest. It is committed to publishing in innovative ways works of educational, cultural, and community value that, despite their intellectual merits, may be deemed insufficiently profitable by commercial publishers. Like the Public Broadcasting System and National Public Radio as they were originally conceived, The New Press aims to provide ideas and viewpoints under-represented in the mass media. As an author of international renown, André Schiffrin (1935-2013) analyses the threats to the world of publishing and uses his works to protest against the globalisation phenomenon as it impacts the world of publishing and media. He has published among other works L’édition sans éditeurs (Publishing without Publishers) and Le contrôle de la parole (Controlling speech) published by La Fabrique in France.

Ruisseaux d’Afrique is a Beninese publishing house specialising in children’s publications: nearly 150 works in roughly 20 collections (activity books, illustrated albums, children’s novels, documentaries, high-art books, humanities etc.). Its output is also oriented towards the presentation of African art and life in Africa. It is a platform from which African painters, authors, artists, and illustrators can express themselves. Ruisseaux d’Afrique is involved in several pan-African and international co-publication networks.

Nous tirons notre nom du proverbe « Les petits ruisseaux engendrent les grandes rivières ». C’est un message d’humilité (nous ne sommes que de tout petits ruisseaux culturels comme il y en a partout le monde) et un message de foi en l’Afrique (si tous les filons potentiels d’Afrique s’éveillaient et coulaient, nous formerions des rivières, des fleuves, des océans…). L’Afrique, en actualisant ses ressources endogènes peut se déployer, donner et recevoir, co-construire le monde.
