THE EARLY MODERN EXCHANGE

This series publishes studies of European literature and culture (c. 1450-1700) exploring connections across intellectual, geographical, social, and cultural boundaries, including trans-national, trans-regional engagements; networks and processes for the development and dissemination of knowledges and practices; gendered and sexual roles and hierarchies and the effects of their transgression; relations between different ethnic or religious groups; travel and migration; textual circulation/s. The Early Modern Exchange series seeks critical approaches to multiple disciplines and objects, the re-examination of historiographical categories (medieval, early modern, modern), and the investigation of resonances across broad temporal spans.

REGENERATIONS

Regenerations encourages research that develops and extends the understanding of African American literary and cultural history, while promoting regional and local research that represents the complex dynamics of African American experience. In the selection and presentation of texts published in the Regenerations series, we hope to encourage research on the dynamics of geographical influence—from points of departure to multiple centers of arrival, from the “New Southern Studies” to reconsiderations of African American resettlements in Canada, from research on New England history to studies of the Black West, and from the American Midwest to the Caribbean and Latin America.
