We are thrilled to announce the publication of NLH 53/3-4, a double issue edited by Urvashi Chakravarty and Ayanna Thompson. The issue includes eleven original essays on topics ranging from race-making in the early modern East Indies to Leviathan and the Asiento. As part of the issue’s launch, we are offering two free downloads: Margo Hendricks, “Coloring the Past, Considerations on Our Future: RaceB4Race,” and Mary Rambaran-Olm, “A Wrinkle in Medieval Time: Ironing out Issues Regarding Race, Temporality, and the Early English.” Thanks to the editors, the contributors, and our staff for their work on this magisterial special issue.
