Books for Courses

The University of North Carolina Press has a tradition of providing scholars with groundbreaking studies that are also classroom friendly. From classics like Glenda E. Gilmore's Gender and Jim Crow, Christian G. Appy's Working-Class War, and Drew Gilpin Faust's Mothers of Invention, to contemporary studies in Atlantic History and Latin American Studies, our books have staying power.
