Modern American History: First Issue Announcement and CFP
The Cambridge University Press journal Modern American History (MAH) is pleased to announce that some of its inaugural issue is now available online, and the print edition will be available next month. A full table of contents appears below.
MAH also invites article submissions for future issues on any aspect of U.S. history since the 1890s. It welcomes work from scholars representing every sub-discipline of this expansive field, and seeks in particular research that straddles the methods of more than one subfield or otherwise bridges traditional divides. The journal also accepts brief proposals for review essays, forums, and other special features.
More information can be found at the journal’s website or by emailing: mahist@bu.edu.
