Reflecting Guldi’s wide-ranging teaching interests, “The Long Land War” brings together an astonishing array of archives and documents to examine 20th-century history as it intersects with land rights. The book is especially notable for its interdisciplinary engagement with archives, artworks and maps, as well as the scholarship that influenced human rights-driven social movements during the turbulent 1960s. Ultimately, Guldi’s rich study encourages the reader to rethink social movements that have advocated for food, water access and shelter.
