Joyce Seltzer
Senior Editor for History and Contemporary Affairs
I seek serious and scholarly non-fiction that appeals to a general intellectual audience as well as to students and scholars in a variety of disciplines. My particular interest is history across a broad spectrum, which includes intellectual, social, cultural, African-American, women's, Atlantic, and world history. American studies, contemporary politics and social problems, and biography are also part of my list.
Some recent books are:
- Irresistible Empire
- America's Advance through Twentieth-Century Europe
- A Hundred Horizons
- The Indian Ocean in the Age of Global Empire
