The depth and breadth of CSSH essays makes them ideal for use in university classrooms. Whether you are looking for a cornerstone classic or the best new scholarship, we will have it, and it will be written in a smart, accessible style. In this feature, we invite CSSH authors and editors to compile some of their favorite essays on specific research topics.
Since its inception, CSSH has published groundbreaking essays on slavery, enslaved persons, and (forced) labor across different time periods and geographic locations. Inspired by The New York Times’s “The 1619 Project,” we’ve put together a selection of these essays going back almost sixty years.
