Submitting Your Work to the AHR

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to submit an article to the AHR, how the review process works, how best to frame your submission, or what type of work the AHR is most interested in? In this special episode of AHR Interview, we invited three recent AHR authors to discuss precisely these questions. Our guests are Carina Ray of Brandeis University, Sana Aiyar of MIT, and Marc Hertzman of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The articles they discuss are: Carina E. Ray, “Decrying White Peril: Interracial Sex and the Rise of Anticolonial Nationalism in the Gold Coast,” The American Historical Review, Volume 119, Issue 1, February 2014, Pages 78–110, https://doi.org/10.1093/ahr/119.1.78 Sana Aiyar, “Anticolonial Homelands across the Indian Ocean: The Politics of the Indian Diaspora in Kenya, ca. 1930–1950,” The American Historical Review, Volume 116, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 987–1013, https://doi.org/10.1086/ahr.116.4.987 Marc A.
