Exploring the First Special Issue of the American Historical Review

In December 2024 American Historical Review published its first ever special issue. Titled “Histories of Resilience,” it features almost two dozen scholars from a wide range of fields contributing their research on resilience. In this episode we hear from board of editors members Josh Reid and Cymone Fourshey as they discuss how the issue came together interspersed with cameos from a few of the contributors—Kate Whiteley on the Wiyot Tribe of Northern California, Thaís R. S. de Sant’Ana on migrant workers in Brazil, Tammy Wilks on Kenyan Nubians, and Bob Reinhardt on US communities submerged as part of big dam projects.
