University of Vermont and Society for Black Military Studies Launch New Academic Journal

The University of Vermont Press has partnered with the Society for Black Military Studies to launch the Journal of Black Military Studies.  The multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal will feature articles that discuss, analyze, and document the military experience in context of the Black diaspora. Scholars will be able to publish their work without fees and their articles will be freely available to the public. Françoise N.

She is a scholar of 20th-century United States history, African American history, southern history, cultural studies, and Africana studies. She is the author of Crossroads at Clarksdale: The Black Freedom Struggle in the Mississippi Delta After World War II (University of North Carolina Press, 2012). Dr. Hamlin received her bachelor’s degree in United States studies from the University of Essex in England and her master’s degree in United States studies from the University of London.
