Salem's Centuries: New Perspectives on the History of an Old American City: History and the Public
Editat de Donna A. Seger, Brad Austinen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 ian 2026
In advance of the city’s quadricentennial, the editors and contributors highlight the depth and diversity of Salem’s history, including stories of indigenous peoples, early settlers, African Americans, and immigrants, spanning from the American and industrial revolutions to World War II and the present. Chronologically arranged by century, chapters examine how Salem’s history has been lost or distorted in its public presentations over time.
Salem’s Centuries is a fresh look at an old American city. And yes, it includes the accused witches.

Recenzii
“Salem’s Centuries is a remarkable collection of inventive essays exploring a wide range of topics, from the dispossession of Salem’s indigenous peoples to its heyday as a center of global commerce to the lives of the Puritan descendants, African Americans, and immigrants from around the world who made the city their home. Together, these essays illuminate how the city’s past, real and imagined, has shaped its contemporary landscape and people.”—David Glassberg, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and author of Sense of History: The Place of the Past in American Life
“Donna Seger and Brad Austin have not only assembled new perspectives on Salem—ones that highlight once-ignored Indigenous, Black, working-class, immigrant, and emigrant experiences—they have shown why these matter, even outside the Witch City’s boundaries. And because the authors do their history in public, foregrounding how they use their sources to understand the past, this volume also serves as a model for how to make local history lively and relevant.”—Jacob A. C. Remes, Clinical Associate Professor of History at New York University, and author of Disaster Citizenship: Survivors, Solidarity, and Power in the Progressive Era
