The 250th birthday of the United States offers an opportunity not only to commemorate, but to inquire, learn, and engage with our country's history and culture since its founding. At the University of Michigan Press, we see scholarly publishing as part of the democratic process: a commitment to research, peer review, critical dialogue, and making knowledge more accessible beyond the academy. This page highlights thematic collections of books, a student-created catalog, and thought-provoking essays and blog posts about the American story. We hope these resources spark curiosity and conversation, and we invite all readers to reflect on the nation’s past while considering the questions that continue to shape its future.
