Marilyn Young’ once asked: “Where can the historian stand in order to lever the history of the United States off its assumed centrality?” I don’t have a definitive nor a particularly clever answer. But I’m sure those who will join us in Middelburg will - and there could be you among them too!
Thank you so much!
I’m not sure, but I did learn in the production process that they actually commission actual artwork each season (several books get the same image apparently). Here’s the full version of the one on my cover:
Thank you, Michael!
For those with library access, the e-version is also available here: academic.oup.com/book/61783
My new book — Humanitarianism: A Very Short Introduction — is now available as an e-book (paperback in March 2026)! The book offers a concise history of humanitarianism in an international perspective, from the 18th century to the present. More info here: global.oup.com/academic/pro...
Thank you so much, Boyd!! Your work was both foundational and influential for the book. I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts!
If you’ll be at the AHA in Chicago and would like to chat about a potential project for InterConnections, my fellow Series Editor Renata Keller (@renatakeller.bsky.social) and I will be there and would be happy to chat!
