The Justice, Power, and Politics series publishes new works that explore questions of social justice and political power and struggles for justice in the twentieth century. The series pursues—and brings into conversation with each other—books that use the lenses of justice, power, and politics to help readers better understand the evolution of the United States in the last century. The series includes works by both junior and more seasoned scholars that will find common ground not only in their content but also by broadening the way we think about these issues.
The first JPP books were published in 2013. For more information, visit the series website.
