American academic publisher
University Press of America (UPA) is the former name of a publishing house which became the parent of a larger publishing group, then was later re-introduced as the name of an imprint of "itself" after changing the name of the parent company.
Originally founded in 1975, as a standalone academic publisher, University Press of America purchased the Rowman & Littlefield publishing house in 1987. In 1998, University Press of America adopted the Rowman & Littlefield name as its own,[1][2] while introducing the University Press of America name as an imprint of Rowman & Littlefield, specializing in the publication of scholarly works.[3]
