We’re excited to be preparing for the release of our first monograph, 1804 by Rich-Joseph Facun.

1804 explores how cultural heritage, socioeconomics, and youth culture are influenced by the presence of a university—the dominant institution—in a rural Appalachian town. Through Facun’s lens, the work offers a nuanced look at the interplay between place, power, and identity.

Stay tuned for our pre-order campaign launching this summer!
