Radical Americas explores the historical, political and social contexts that have underpinned radicalism in the Americas, engaging fully with the cross-currents of activism which connect North, Central and South America along with the Caribbean. They welcome submissions from early career and established scholars worldwide and will consider work in a number of different formats. In addition to peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of Western Hemisphere radicalism, the journal runs a variety of regular features, including opinion pieces, photo essays, reviews, and archival notes. Editorial Board Members: Paulo Drinot and Kate Quinn

The Studies of the Americas Series, published in conjunction with the Institute of the Americas, includes country specific, cross-disciplinary, and comparative research on the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Canada, particularly in the areas of Politics, Economics, History, Sociology, Anthropology, Development, Gender, Social Policy, and the Environment. The series publishes monographs, readers on specific themes and also welcomes proposals for edited collections, that allow exploration of a topic from several different disciplinary angles. Series Editors: Nick Witham and Néstor Castañeda Emeritus Series Editor: Maxine Molyneux
