Envisioning Cuba Series

Series Editor: Louis A. Pérez Jr., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Envisioning Cuba publishes outstanding, innovative works in Cuban studies, drawn from diverse subjects and disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, from the colonial period through the post-Cold War era. Attention centers on the exploration of historical and cultural circumstances and conditions—for example, colonialism, slavery, racism, imperialism, and revolution—related to the development of Cuban self-definition and national identity. Salient thematic concerns of the series include power and powerlessness, dictatorship and democracy, repression and resistance, populism and mass mobilization, nationalism and competing ideologies, cultural transitions, and social transformations. The series features innovative scholarship engaged with theoretical approaches and interpretive frameworks informed by social, cultural, and intellectual perspectives.

Latin America in Translation Series

The Latin America in Translation/en Traducción/em Tradução series, sponsored by the University of North Carolina-Duke Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, translates and publishes in English outstanding books in a wide range of fields by important Latin American writers and scholars.

The Call for Proposals will be available in late fall here.

Latinx Histories Series

Series Editors: Lori Flores, Stony Brook University & 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.

Interconnections: The Global 20th Century Series (New!)

Series Editors: Julia F. Irwin, Louisiana State University, Renata Keller, University of Nevada, Reno, Christopher McKnight Nichols, The Ohio State University, & Jayita Sarkar, University of Glasgow

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.
