Book covers: The Odyssey for Democracy and Charlotte and UNC Charlotte: Growing Up Together

J. Murrey Atkins Library Digital Publishing has published two new open access books. One, Charlotte and UNC Charlotte: Growing Up Together, is a beloved history of our university written by Ken Sanford that was first published in 1996 and has now been digitized. The other book, The Odyssey for Democracy by Clark Curtis, tells the story of Mirsad Hadžkadić. The UNC Charlotte College of Computing and Informatics professor decided in 2018 to run for the Bosniak presidential council seat in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Though Hadžkadić was not victorious, he succeeded in spearheading a democratic movement, resulting in the formation of the Platform for Progress political organization. Both books are available open access as ebooks and for purchase as paperbacks through UNC Press.
