NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: LATINX HISTORIES
As a leading publisher of American and Latin American history, UNC Press is delighted to announce the launch of Latinx Histories, a book series premised on the view that understanding Latinx history is essential to a more complete and complex understanding of the history of the United States, the Americas, and the world. The series editors and advisory board welcome book proposals that examine and offer a historical framework for the experiences of Latinx people ranging from earliest indigenous settlement in what is now known as the United States through the present-day transnational U.S. and beyond, resulting in a collection of innovative historical works that push the boundaries of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, migration, and nationalism within and around Latinx communities.
Co-editors:
Lori Flores, Stony Brook University
Michael Innis-Jiménez, University of Alabama

NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: INTERCONNECTIONS
InterConnections: The Global 20th Century
Series Editors:
Julia F. Irwin, Renata Keller, Christopher McKnight Nichols, Jayita Sarkar
InterConnections: The Global 20th Century is home to innovative global, international, and transregional histories of the long twentieth century. We also publish cutting-edge histories of the US and the world, especially scholarship that decenters the United States. Our books emphasize interactions and connections across three principal areas of inquiry: governments, militaries, and non-state actors, including businesses; international organizations, nation-states, and individuals; and foreign and domestic policies. The series showcases work that transcends conventional geographic, temporal, and disciplinary borders, offering fresh and original perspectives on the making of the contemporary world.
For more information, visit the InterConnections series page.
And, be sure to check out The Latin Americanist journal.
