Latinx Histories

Announcing a new UNC Press Series: 

Latinx Histories

Series Editors:
Lori Flores, Stony Brook University and
Michael Innis-Jiménez, University of Alabama

 

 

UNC Press’s Latinx Histories book series is 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.unities.

Lori Flores is associate professor of history at Stony Brook University. She is the author of Grounds for Dreaming: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the California Farmworker Movement and the forthcoming Starved for Respect: The Many Hungers of Latinx Food Workers. She is also co-editor of The Academic’s Handbook.

Michael Innis-Jiménez is professor of American studies at the University of Alabama. He is the author of Steel Barrio: The Great Mexican Migration to South Chicago and the forthcoming Made in Chicago: Mexican Food, Tourism, and Cultural Identity.
