Welcome to the UNC Press Virtual Exhibit for the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.
Scroll to see our Newest Books!
Since we can’t be together at the conference, we’re bringing our book exhibit to you.
From virtually anywhere, you can browse our list of new and recent titles, learn about our new books in our John Hope Franklin Series in African American History and Culture, chat with one of our acquisitions editors, Dawn Durante and Andrew Winters, and more.
Congratulations!
Finalists for the 2023 Association for the Study of
African American Life and History Book Prize
Check out our two brand new book series
Current events continue to bring new attention to subjects like gun violence, police brutality, institutionalized racism, protests and activism, and more. These subjects are among the pillars of the UNC Press publishing program, and have cast new light on some of our newest books, and some of our classic bestselling titles.
Some of these books are highlighted in our Justice, Power, and Politics series.
You can also check out our full listing of new and classic books in African American Studies.
All of our books (in fact, our entire site) are available now at our 40 percent ASALH conference discount. Plus if your order totals $75, domestic U.S. shipping is FREE! Just use promo code 01DAH40 at checkout.
