Book Series

In 1997, in association with the University of South Carolina Press, the Carolina Lowcountry and Atlantic World Program established a book series that publishes monographs, collections of original essays, and scholarly editions of significant primary sources for the study of the Carolian Lowcountry and/or Atlantic context in which it developed.

The first volume, Money, Trade, and Power: The Evolution of South Carolina’s Plantation Economy (edited by Jack Greene, Rosemary Brana-Shute, and Randy Sparks) is a collection of essays based on papers presented at our first annual conference. The Impact of the Haitian Revolution in the Atlantic World (edited by David Geggus) and London Booksellers and American Customers: Transatlantic Literary community and the Charleston Library Society by James Raven were published in the academic year of 2001/02. Since then five more titles have appeared in the Series, and further manuscripts are currently in press, under contract or under review dealing with manumissions in the Atlantic world; material culture in the Lowcountry, Tidewater, and Caribbean; and saints and pilgrimage in the Atlantic World.

Do you have a manuscript in hand or in preparation that would fit the scope of this series? Do you know others who do? Please contact Simon Lewis (lewiss@cofc.edu), David Gleeson (gleesond@cofc.edu) or Scott Poole (poolews@cofc.edu) to explore this possibility. For full details of the USC Press Book Series, visit http://www.sc.edu/uscpress/series.html.

Through a private donation, CLAW also publishes with the University of South Carolina Press the best monograph on a topic within its broad subject areas. Our first such publication was Bertrand Van Ruymbeke's Out of New Babylon: The Huguenots in Colonial South Carolina.

Additionally, CLAW biennially awards the Hines Prize for the best first book relating to any aspect of the history and life of the Carolina Lowcountry and/or the Atlantic World. The following series titles are available from the University of South Carolina Press by visiting www.sc.edu/uscpress
