CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN IMMIGRATION
We are looking for contributors for the 2,000-page, four-volume,
illustrated Encyclopedia of American Immigration (EAI), to be published
by M.E. Sharpe in the fall of 2000. Comprehensive in scope and written
by top scholars in the field, the EAI will be the definitive reference
work on immigration for years to come. Among our board of advisors are
Nancy Foner (SUNY Purchase), Hector Cordero-Guzman (New School), Ruben
Rumbaut (Michigan State), and Nazli Kibria (Boston).
The encyclopedia is divided into four parts: IMMIGRATION HISTORY,
immigration issues, immigration groups (ethnic/regional), and
immigration (original) documents. Articles run between 8 and 30
manuscript pages in length, depending on subject.
All entries will be signed and all writers will be listed on contributor
page. Small stipends will also be paid.
Contributors may write any number of entries. The deadlines for
materials range from December 15, 1999 through March 15, 2000, depending
on length of entry and the contributor's own schedule. If you cannot
contribute, perhaps you can forward names and email addresses of
scholars (including graduate students) who would be interested.
We can email a prospectus with a full description of the project,
including a list of entries still available. Contact us at:
