This is an initial call for manuscripts for a collection of essays that =
address playwright August Wilson's vision for a "ground together"--that =
is, a global arts community where forms of cultural expression produced =
by diverse peoples are equally esteemed and celebrated. Inspired by the =

state of black arts (The Ground Together I and II) hosted in 1998 and in =
1999 at Howard University. Panelists who presented essays, offered =
workshops, or gave talks at either event are strongly encouraged to =
respond to this Call for Papers.
The editor welcomes submissions from a wide range of issues pertinent to =
an increasing technologically driven, multi-cultural arts community. =
Essays whose premises are clearly informed by some aspect of Wilson's =
arts related argument--no matter what position the author may =
advance--are especially welcome. Contributors are urged to consider =
"art" in broad terms including but not limited to disciplines suchas =
visual and performing arts, journalism, religion, archaeology, arts =
education, technology, language, and literary criticism.
The deadline for completed manuscripts (hard copy and disk copy in =
Microsoft format) is December 4, 2000. Brief inquiries or proposals as =
