Call for Contributors: Asian America History and Culture: An Encyclopedia

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS

Asian America History and Culture: An Encyclopedia

PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL FACULTY MEMBERS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS

M.E. Sharpe, a New York-based academic and reference publisher, and East River Books, a reference book producer, are seeking contributing scholars for a two-volume reference work on the history and culture of Asian Americans. The project is aimed at the academic high school and undergraduate levels. The General Editors are Dr. Huping Ling of Truman State University and Dr. Allan W. Austin of College Misericordia.

The encyclopedia will include articles on politics and government; economy, labor, and business; society; religion and education; technology, science, and the environment; and arts and culture. There will be entries on individuals, places, ideas, events, institutions, and general themes. Articles will vary in length from 500-4,000 words (depending on significance of topic) and include bibliographies.

We are seeking contributors for articles. Contributors will receive full authorial credit, a modest cash honorarium, and/or copy of the full encyclopedia set (depending on contribution length and contributor preference).

Sincerely,

Drs. Huping Ling and Allan W. Austin, General Editors
