Below is a bibliography compiled by the Middle West Review graduate student assistant Zach Wattier. For this project Zach was tasked to compile a list of crucial texts on Midwestern regional history from 1980 to 2023 and did so by searching the academic journals of the area during that time frame. He focused on locating books that specifically aim to locate or comment on a Midwestern identity and preferred to incorporate texts that either directly spoke to what that identity is, or texts that are a comparative analysis of multiple states/cities within the Midwest.
As a way to crowd source and see what should be added, we have uploaded the bibliography and hope for feedback and recommendations. What are other historical texts on the Middle West that should be included?
(This is a work in progress and will be updated periodically)
