UNC Charlotte History is a place where scholars thrive, where you follow your passion and prepare for your career, where you can make lasting connections, and where you can make a difference.
This volume brings together the work of researchers in North America, Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, who are generating important, archivally based scholarship in their respective fields, languages, and nations of study.

Therefore, the volume provides an entry point for scholars who need a quick assessment of recent historiographic perspectives from the “other side of the hill.”
