Call for Papers: Race in Post-Integration America
We are gathering articles for a proposed collection on the continuing
significance of race in post-integration America. We wish to compile
articles that explore a range of topics, disciplines and approaches. We are
especially interested in submissions that blend personal narrative and
academic scholarship.
This proposed collection of essays is envisioned as the sibling of recent
scholarly and popular anthologies featuring post-soul/post-integration
writers in which young artists and intellectuals write about the culture and
country theyıve inherited. While those works seek to place the next
generationıs voice into the cultural mix, this anthology seeks to focus that
voice on the contemporary racial climate and inherited racial politics.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* Why does the concept of race still matter?
* Can we ever achieve color-blindness? Do we want to?
* First encounters with race
* Racial representations in the media
* Mixed race identity
* Experiencing whiteness as racial
* Race and place
* Intersections of Race/Gender/Class/Sexuality
* New theories of race
* Generational shifts in racial thought
