Subject Area: American History
Containing multitudes. The understanding of our American identity is an endeavor requiring an expansive and inclusive approach to content and discipline, and our editorial program in American history is thusly marked by varied contributions from scholars in African American studies, Arkansas and regional studies, food studies, and sports studies. We welcome imaginative and insightful book proposals that cross genres, hybridize methodologies, and blur lines, bringing both problematization and inspiration to anyone seeking American truths.
