Corinna Zeltsman is a historian of Modern Latin America with a focus on printing and the book, political culture, and labor in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Mexico. She is the author of Ink Under the Fingernails: Printing Politics in Nineteenth-Century Mexico (UC Press, 2021), which offers a social, political, and cultural history of printing in early republican Mexico, focusing on how printer interactions with state and religious authorities shaped broader debates about press freedom and authorship. The book received the Howard F. Cline Prize in Mexican History from the Latin American Studies Association, the Best Book in the Social Sciences Award from the LASA-Mexico Section, and was shortlisted for the DeLong Book History Book Prize of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing.
