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.


All of our books (in fact, our entire site) are available now at our 40 percent SHAFR conference discount. Plus if your order totals $75, domestic U.S. shipping is FREE! Just use promo code 01DAH40 at checkout.

We’ve even created a handy FAQ document, with answers to the most-asked questions we get at exhibit booths.
