ACLS Celebrates Recent Book Releases by Fellows and Grantees

ACLS is pleased to share a select list of books published in the first half of 2024 by ACLS fellows and grantees, many of which developed from ACLS-supported research. These publications represent just a sample of the distinguished works authored by past and current awardees. They reflect a wide array of topics, from the multidimensional relationship between Indigenous communities in Alaska and the US military during the Pacific War to a collaborative project on excavated documents that reveal the history of third-century South China.
