About Koa Books

Koa Books was founded in 2005 by Arnie Kotler, who previously founded and directed Parallax Press. Headquartered on Maui, the press publishes works on progressive politics, personal transformation, and native cultures.

Koa is the largest native Hawaiian forest tree, whose beautiful hardwood was traditionally used for making canoes and surfboards. Koa in Hawaiian means fearless, or warrior.
