Global Historia

A Scholarly Journal Investigation into Human Rights, Race, and Citizenship Studies

Global Historia stands as a premier peer-reviewed academic journal advancing scholarly discourse at the nexus of human rights, racial studies, and citizenship, with particular emphasis on the enduring legacies of enslavement and its impact on modern societies. The journal examines power structures, institutional frameworks, and social movements that have shaped human rights regimes, racial hierarchies, and citizenship paradigms across societies, placing the history of slavery and its abolition at the center of contemporary debates.

Drawing from historical methodologies and empirical analysis, Global Historia investigates state formation, democratic transitions, and civil society evolution in relation to human rights implementation and racial justice movements. The journal particularly focuses on how historical forms of bondage and resistance have influenced modern conceptualizations of freedom, citizenship, and human rights.

The journal’s scope encompasses institutional development and comparative approaches, fostering critical dialogue between scholars from diverse geographical and academic backgrounds. Our contributors explore the intricate relationships between slavery, emancipation movements, and contemporary challenges in human rights advocacy and citizenship studies. Through rigorous analysis of slave narratives, plantation records, abolition documents, and contemporary sources, the journal illuminates patterns of continuity and change in human rights practices and citizenship frameworks.

Global Historia particularly welcomes research that bridges traditional academic boundaries, offering fresh perspectives on how historical processes of enslavement and liberation inform present-day human rights challenges and citizenship debates. The journal emphasizes methodological innovation while maintaining scholarly rigor, encouraging contributions that employ diverse analytical frameworks to examine the complex interplay between state power, racial capitalism, social movements, and individual rights.

Each issue features original research articles, review essays, and occasional special sections dedicated to emerging themes in the field, with sustained attention to slavery’s lasting influence on modern institutions and social structures. Through careful peer review and editorial oversight, Global Historia maintains the highest standards of academic excellence while fostering accessible and engaging scholarly discourse.
