Please familiarize yourself with the recent history and geography of Southern California. We are not witnessing the same thing to events in late April and early May 1992; the scale then was much larger and wider spread. It wouldn’t hurt either to read about the region’s long-term history too.

I'm still working through the backlog, but by Jan. 15 we'll be ready to shift our resources toward the redesign and the double issues. HLQ 87.1 (spring 2024) will be available in 2-3 weeks. If you're still waiting, bear with me. We're almost there.

One week left to submit for the HLQ relaunch. Essays that pass peer review will be published *this September*, so it's a good option if you want an answer and possible publication quickly. #EarlyModern
