History News Network recently added Edward J. Blum, author of W. E. B. Du Bois, American Prophet, to its list of Top Young Historians.
According to HNN, "Each historian on this list has made outstanding contributions to
the discipline in their area of research through their commitment and
achievement in scholarship and teaching. They are also highly regarded
outside academia for their expertise, and many are consulted by the
popular media."
In the Personal Anecdote section of Blum’s HNN profile, he talks about one factor that swayed his decision to publish his book with Penn Press–an understanding series editor.
In other internet news, articles on Blum appear in the blog A Man from Issachar and on SDSUniverse.
