The Southern Historian, a journal of Southern history and culture published by The University of Alabama, is now accepting manuscripts from active graduate students for potential publication in the Spring 2001 issue (vol. XXII). The journal is written, edited and refereed by graduate students from the United States, Canada, and Europe. Article topics can cover any period and field of American Southern history and culture. Historiographical essays dealing with the Colonial South, Antebellum South, Slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, or Civil Rights are also accepted. Last year's journal included articles on antebellum education, religious debates on secession, race relations in the 1930's, and the Christmas Insurrection Scare of 1865. Deadline for submission is November 1, 2000.

We also have a list of books available for review. We encourage submissions and book reviews from graduate students at any level of their course of study. Please contact southern.historian@mail.ua.edu for manuscript stylesheets, book review request forms, and further information.
