Volume 50

“Around the World in Fifty Volumes” by Robert Coronado, Jr., Cole Costello, Matthew Dominguez, Daniel Palodichuk, and Marina Marquez Saban. Influenced by generative AI software programs and executed with our own photography, this cover celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Perspectives: A Journal of Historical Inquiry. The photographs were taken at Special Collections of Cal State LA’s John F. Kennedy Memorial Library; with its vast collection of books, journals, and archival materials, this was a fitting location to celebrate fifty years of student research. The globe represents the disparate locations and diverse cultures explored by generations of Cal State LA History students who have contributed their scholarship to the journal since 1973.
